Now that Jean and I are sitting around and staring at each other with no kids to corral, we’ve decided to take up biking. Healthy exercise that we can do together! Bit the bullet and picked up some nice bikes that should serve us well. I went for the 2021 […]

I had the opportunity to go on the week long mission trip with the St Joan of Arc CHAOS Youth Group to Cumberland, Kentucky. This was the 5th year in a row I was able to chaperone the group. This year was the largest group we’ve taken with 15 kids […]
For the 4th year in a row I accompanied the st joan of arc youth group to kentucky for their week long summer mission trip. Nate, Brandon and I were all able to make the trip this year. Our 9 kids and 3 adults while meeting up with 24 other […]
I chaperoned a field trip with Brandon’s 8th grade class from St Pats this last week. We had an awesome 4 FULL days of touring that left everyone exhausted. I made this trip once before with Nate so I suppose I’ll let Jean go next year with Aly seeing as […]
Jean and I had an awesome time this last weekend at the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Public Hall in Cleveland. Turns out it’s only in Cleveland every 3 years, rotating between CLE, LA & NY. We scored the 2 tickets through my work and […]
Wow, I was definitely caught off guard at church this last weekend when the Knights of Columbus presented us with the 2015 Catholic Family of the Year award. A great appreciation to whomever was involved in giving this award to our family. I can’t say how super-proud it made me […]
Every few months a bird will fly into our garage and for some reason can’t fly back out through the gigantic garage door opening. Well this cardinal did just that and after an hour of trying to catch him and chase him out, learned alot about him, including his love […]
Well where do I start to describe such an awesome weekend getaway. Jean and I went away last weekend to New York City to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. We waited until now to go since of course the Rockettes don’t dance until this time of year… and any trip to […]
Another awesome day. Jean, Nate and I with some other family and friends took place in the Warrior Dash in Canal Fulton. In all we only had 8 of us this year. Some moderate running for a “non-runner” like myself, along with many obstacles and LOTS of mud. We adopted […]
The boys and I were invited to the Keba Camp in Pennsylvania. We’ve heard the stories coming out of the camp so we’ve been looking forward to it. We began the trip with logging 150 miles with Nate at the wheel, across the turnpike and through the PA mountains. Not […]
For the 3rd straight year I was blessed enough to be able to go on the mission trip with St Joan of Arc’s youth group (C.H.A.O.S) to the Appalachian region. Our destination this year was Cumberland, Kentucky where they have a great base of operations that can reach out to […]
My sisters and I flew to Orlando for a long weekend stay with Teresa and Summer this past weekend. I have always been fascinated with flying and aircraft and everything in the sky, which is the primary reason for my 4 year Navy enlistment. My sisters were nice enough to […]
I put on my chaperone hat again over the last couple days for Aly’s 6th grade class at Camp Fitch. You would think there would be NOOO way we could possible get SNOW in mid April but….. just to put a finishing touch on the worst winter I can remember, […]
We received a call from the Catholic Exponent wanting to interview us about our desire for Catholic schools for our kids. It was a nice little writeup that we’re proud of so I thought I’d put it in my blog. Can’t really put the whole article in my blog entry […]
I had an awesome experience this weekend and thought I’d share it with someone, even if it’s just the world via my web site. Manta, one of our clients at Bark at the Moon has a weapon accessories product line (automatic rifle rail covers, button/switch covers, grip sleeves, etc.) and […]
As expected, the warrior dash turned out another great year with alot of fun and alot of mud. Thank God they changed up the course a little and didn’t hit us with the one mile run up front. That was painful last year… not to show my hand with my […]
For the second year in a row I had the pleasure to go on a week long mission trip with the St Joan of Arc youth group (C.H.A.O.S.) to the Appalachia region. We worked out of London, Kentucky and visited St. Stephens in Cumberland, KY which will likely be our new […]
40 years old. Ugggh. Or 40 years young. I only feel old when I think of how many years 40 actually is, and that I’m half-way to my expected life expectancy of 81.4 years, minus my mayonnaise intake. Jean surprised me with a weekend in Pittsburg without the kids. I […]
Well there’s not much to say except it was another great Tour De Brimfield outting this year. The day before the tour, I had a random couple from Brimfield Google “Tour De Brimfield” after seeing it on Sully’s sign and found my web site. They then called me! Pretty funny…. […]
For a living that is. Even my mom has asked me what exactly I do since not too many people know what a graphic designer does. So I figured I’d whip up this little blog article to slightly answer the question… what i do… which is basically turn word docs […]
So during my googling for a service to transfer my 29 MiniDV tapes to DVD, I stumbled upon an eBay store. There were several stores actually but this person’s was the best price by far at a whopping $2.99 each. After some review checking and fine print reading, I bought […]
