I was born in West Germany, though I'm a US Citizen. I spent most of my childhood outside Washington, D.C.; I was a resident of the state of Florida, though I never lived there. I graduated from high school in El Paso, Texas, came to college in Dallas, and had a permanent mailing address in Honolulu, Hawaii.
So once I was out from under Uncle Sam's thumb, I decided to stay put for a while. It's been 23 years since I moved to the Dallas Fort Worth area, and I'm pleased to call it home.
