Born and raised in CT, lived most of my life in NH. Married to a wonderful woman and have two great kids. I'm an Independent political animal and believe my government serves me, not the other way around! I did my time in the military in the 60's. My background is in Electrical Engineering and I have a strong interest in Amateur Radio (call letter, K1YPP), long distance hiking and bicycling, particularly mountain bike racing (New England Masters Champ, 2002). I attempted to hike the Appalachian Trail in May, 2007, but after 622 miles, came home for a six-artery heart bypass surgery. 300 days later, in 2008, I got back on the trail and finished the other 1,600 miles, you can read more about it at trailjournals.com/k1ypp .
