About Me

I love sports, food, travel, craft beer, and working out. I weight train and run (5K’s, 10K’s, half marathons). I’m a VP/Systems Analyst/Consultant at my family business (http://www.MidwestDataInc.com). My wife runs Melodic Connections (http://www.MelodicConnections.org), a non-profit that brings low to no cost music therapy to the city of Cincinnati for therapeutic support of individuals with disabilities.

As most of my friends know, I love going out to dinner. I think it’s a great place to forget about everything else and enjoy time with your significant other, family, and friends while avoiding the normal distractions of life and experiencing new and good food together. I tend to concentrate on local restaurants, as money spent locally stays local. I also think most chains are uninspiring and simply not very good. I’ll never understand how Olive Garden has a full parking lot daily while similarly priced locally owned restaurants are superior in every way. At any rate, hope you enjoy, I’ll try to update weekly, depending on my work schedule.
