Abstract

• I'm a late 30-something pharmacy student at Albany College of Pharmacy.  After being in the computer field for over a decade, I decided that it was time for a change and with my wife's support I went back to school full time to earn my Pharm.D.  A product of suburbia and small urban centers, my family and I currently reside in Cooperstown, which is located in the Central Leatherstocking region of NY state.  It's quite rural.  We have a german shepherd, four cats, ten chickens, a guinea pig and are taking care of a horse with the intent that he will eventually be ours.

Fun Facts

• I have two tattoos, both are by Bret Zarro, owner of Indelible Ink Tattoos, an outstanding custom shop in the unlikely locale of Oneonta, NY.  My Greenman is actually green now, but I couldn't find a pic of him in his current form.  I've never regretted my body art and I'm looking forward to another once I'm out of school...
