Mom and Dad, who have loved me through all my ups and downs and have always given me the very best they had to offer including some very good genes. They've both passed on their native intelligence and, by example, they taught me how to be a conscientious, careful, persistent worker.

From Dad I got:
My interest in and facility with manual skills, an understanding of and appreciation for mechanical systems, a knack for problem solving, and the ability to devise and create ingenious and/or beautiful objects. |

My beautiful girl, Jody
|
|
My loving wife and light of my life, Michaela (the former Miss Riverview, MI).
 |
| Dom, my big brother:
While I was living a timid and very small life, I always admired (even envied) Dom's adventurous risk-taking and his artistic ability which he so creatively expressed. His kind, gentle and generous friendliness is a trait I can only hope to emmulate.

Jenny ( more like an older sister than
an aunt):
Her kindness, generosity, and loving concern coupled with her fun-loving,
positive attitude have been real blessings in my life.
