Where to start... Well, I am Roman Catholic. My father taught me a lot about my faith, along with lots and lots of books. Catholic schools taught me how to defend my faith! I studied Civil Engineering at the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. At the time the school was the number one civil engineering school in the country. (yes, I am proud of that fact... and yes I realize that it does not make me the number one civil engineer!) I got married to a wonderful woman before my last semester at school. We lost our first child. I found a job with the US Corps of Engineers, and have been working there since 2002. I am also a PE. My wife an I now have a growing family and a home to raise them in.
With the grace of God and the help of his Mother, I have accomplished many of the major goals that I have had so far in my life... school, marriage, family, stable job, and a home. I have added some new goals, but most of them are minor.
Like me, my wife and family are consecrated slaves of Jesus through His mother Mary.
