So you want to know more about me?  Well, there's not that much to say.  My professional credentials are listed on my vitae.  I have been happily (well, most of the time) married to an attorney for 24 years.  I have two sons--Daniel, age 17, and Samuel, age 8.  My hobbies include walking, traveling (I especially like warm, tropical places where I can gamble), scrapbooking, and gardening.  Although I'm not very good at it, I particularly like to grow roses, which is why I selected the above banner.

Aside from maintaining my marriage and raising two funny, talented boys, I am probably most proud of finally completing a marriage and family textbook with my colleague Brenda Vander Mey.  You can find out more about the textbook at the Allyn and Bacon web site.
