Friends and Family

This is my brother Bill. I call him big willy. He's the best! The picture was taken at Burning Man.

Unlike me, Bill is a genius. He is a talented musician, and all around great guy. I love Bill. Someday some decade, Bill will give me a cd or MP3 of his music. Someday may never come, Bill is kind of weird about sharing his recordings.

My step dad Dick is a great guy, and an artist. To see his art, go to his website.

Kate is my sister. She is a sweetie pie. I have had the pleasure and honor to be a part of her growing from a curious incredible baby to a super young woman. I still hold out hope that I will watch her become the first female president of the United States, but she seems to want to take her career in other directions. Whatever she does, she does incredibly well.

My two buddies back in Chicago Keyvan and Sassan Saedi (ideas spelled backwards) are very cool and fun to hang out with. We do stuff every year in spite of the geographic distance between us. My favorite is our snow mobile trips to the upper peninsula of Michigan. What a trip. I also like to go sailing with Kev on his boat in Lake Michigan. Keyvan and Sassan also have a website.

Janelle and I have a long history together starting with our work at Excite@Home, and she is a very dear friend.

Jason and I used to work together. I was his "boss" at Excite@Home. Jason Teller and I have become close friends over the years. He is another brilliant inquisitive mind and a very close friend.

Andrew was a colleague from work at Americast, then again at Excite@Home. Andrew is very cool, and kinda quirky, but a best bud. Good on ya mate, and no bloody worries. :-)

And then there is my sweetie Cris... How I love her so. And now she is my wife and mother of my child.

Grayson and Brooke, my brother and sister from Connecticut. They, like me (and everyone here), are independent thinkers, and follow their own path in life. Bravo!

My brother Mike. Cyclist extrordinare.

Lisa was always more than a step-mother to me, and I love her dearly. I rarely see her, and we don't speak enough, but I have a connection with her, and deep love for her. Lisa is a great woman. Below is a picture of her with her husband Fred.

My angel (and daughter) Sophia. She brings sunshine into my life. Click here to see Sophia's online photo album.

Carmen and Gabi, Cris's Mom and Dad. Honest, hardworking, and loving people. Sophia lights up with bright eyes and a huge smile every time they visit.

Dragos and Alina are close friends of the Family. Dragos is Cris's cousin, and good friend from childhood. Dragos and Alina have been travel companions, friends, and chauffeurs to Cris and I. Below are Dragos, Alina, and Maria. Also with Sophia. Placeholder pic to be replaced.

Costel has been a good friend to me here in Romania. He, Carmen, and Matei are our Family friends. The picture below is of their family, plus Sophia. Hey Costel! Clink clink clink!
