I have a younger brother, Trevor, who lives in Grand Rapids with his wife. He received his Masters from Grand Valley State University and teaches math. My parents, both retired, used to spend their summers in Higgins Lake, Michigan at our "cottage” my paternal grandparents had built in 1989 which they just sold and turned into an Air B&B! They nkw are full time Floridians living on Marco Island, Florida where my Poppop (maternal grandfather) lived. His claim to fame is that he wrote the music for The Ballpark Frank Plumping Song!! Check it out in the Detroit Free Press Sunday paper October 3, 1971 on page 56!

I love pizza, pasta, choclate and bread. Mmmm carbs! Also, Dr. Pepper fountain pop! My favorite movie is Dead Poet's Society; I also like a variety of musicals including The Newsies. I'm a huge fan of Lifetime's show Dance Moms. My musical tastes include the likes of clasic rock such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, as well as 90's pop/ alternative, country, and even Motown classics. The Great Wave of Kangawa by Katsushika Hokusai is a blockprint that someday I'd like to make into a tattoo sleeve.. The color I like most is orange.
