Was born in a small town in central North Carolina.

My Dad was an Industrial Engineer for a major textile company with plants all over the world so we moved a lot when I was growing up.

We moved to Italy when I was 4-1/2 years old. I went to school at the American Overseas School of Rome. A lot of our classmates were kids of movie stars who were living in Italy.This was around the time of the spaghetti westerns so there were a lot of American actors there making movies.One of my classmates was in a film with Robert Vaughan while we were there.That was kind of neat. Dad likes to tell stories of having dinner with various actors who were in town.The punch line was that they were just eating in the same restaraunt and had no idea who Dad was !

Anyway , we got to see lots of wonderful places all over Italy.We even took trips to France , England and Greece.

We lived in Ireland when I was in high school and I went to a school run by Jesuit priests.They were a tough bunch and gave me the kick in the pants I needed ! We travelled all over the country and saw lots of cool stuff. I even had dinner with the Earl of Dunraven . Trouble was that he didn"t realize that he was having dinner with us !

It was hard moving around so much but we got to see so many things that we would have never had a chance to see.

I hope that none of this came accross as bragging or anything like that. I am grateful for the opportunities that Dad gave us and for all of the people I have met over the years.

I went back to Ireland last year on a bus tour with my parents , my Wife and my Son. It was great fun.

We moved around a lot but we always came home to North Carolina.This is my favorite place in the whole world.
