High school senior pictureA brief biography seems in order, as you'll have to wait a bit for the book. I was raised out in the state of Montana, a fantastic place to have a childhood. My family moved around a bit in the state, but for the most part that is what we called home.

Goofing off in BonnThings really took a change when I was a sophomore in high school. My mother took a job with the US Department of State and they sent us to Bonn, (in what was then West) Germany. It was quite a different life from any I'd experienced before then, and I would recommend Europe as a place to go to high school for anyone! I finished off my secondary school career there and then headed to Chicago to go to college at Northwestern. I had never been to the Windy City prior to that, but was extremely pleased once I got to know the area.

During the summer and winter vacations from university, I went to visit my family, which had been transferred to Amman, Jordan. I had to opportunity to travel quite a bit in the region, but we had to leave under somewhat 'hurried' circumstances with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990.
