Born in Findlay, Ohio and spent my early years on our family farm near McComb, Ohio.

We moved to Findlay shortly after my father's death in 1966. Five years later we moved to Greenville, South Carolina, and I have spent most of the remainder of my life in and around the Greenville area. My wife and I have eight children and an ever-growing brood of grandkids.

Presently, I am an engineer with an outfit that builds custom automated machinery. Previously, I was a high school science teacher. I am a woodworker and a beekeeper. My wife and I are active in our church and have home schooled our children.

I have had an avocational interest in ancestry and genealogy for many years, rekindled upon stumbling across Find-a-Grave and WikiTree. The philosophy behind both of those sites is exactly as it ought to be: exactly one record per person, interlinked and maintained by the collaborative effort of many thoughtful and interested people.
