Personal

Born and raised in Europe. Son of classic “Greatest Generation” parents - My father was a U.S. Glider pilot severely wounded at D-Day. My mother was an English nurse. Although American, I grew up in a small English country village in Buckinghamshire - a life experience I hold and treasure.
