I have been married to my wife, Tracy, for 24 years. Tracy works for Penn State University as a Senior Research Technologist in the College of Education. We have two sons, Wesley (21) who is a Liberal Arts student at Penn State University and Dominick (18) who will attend Pennsylvania Technical School, an affiliate of Penn State University next fall.

My career spanned 27 years in the high paced and politically driven commercial nuclear power industry as Field Technician and then for the last 12 years as an Operations Manager. I dealt with many years of day-to-day crisis management in a strict government regulated industry. I was responsible for over $11,000,000 in contracts and provided technical, financial, and managerial expertise to nuclear plants throughout northeastern US.

Feeling burnt out from the stress and constant business traveling, I decided to leave my career to take a couple of years off, enjoy life with my family, and venture into other business opportunities.
