I have a six-year-old son and a baby on the way. July 15th, to be exact. Yes, exact. I've been married nine years (we lived in sin two years before that) and it hasn't always been easy - I've learned marriage never is - but I love my wife very much and my happiest memories revolve around the things we've done together. She works in adolescent mental health. I'm proud of what she does. I live in the D.C. area and love the city in a way folks who see it as an icon could never understand. I'm a surveyor and my family has been at it for over one hundred twenty five years. I tried to escape, but it seems it's in my blood. It is my honor to be one of the few who do survey work in "The District", as we locals call it. Thanks for stopping by.
