So here's my life in a nutshell. The year was 1978. It all began in a little bowling alley... Okay, I've decided to cut to the chase and just give a little bit of a summary of the high points in my life and what you should know about me.

• I was born on November 17, 1978 in Sandusky, Ohio
• I live in Port Clinton, Ohio--THE WALLEYE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!!!
• My parents are David and Angelika
• I am an only child
• My mom is a German citizen, and she met my dad there while he was enlisted in the US Army.
• Thanks to mom, I hold dual citizen status with the US and Germany
• I am 21(Woo hoo! Beer here! BEER HERE!!!)
• I am about 6'2" tall and weigh 210 lbs. (Is that too much? It seems like everyone thinks it's fun to call me fat...)
• I go to school at a little engineering college right on the Hudson River. Ever heard of a place called "West Point?"
• With all of my experiences in Germany (I've been there like 7 or 8 times), I'd like to major in Foreign Relations with a field of study in German.
• My best memories from Port Clinton H.S. are my freshman "road trip" to Michigan, my Junior Prom, and all of the musicals (I starred in Oklahoma! and The Music Man--both by Rogers & Hammerstein)
• I decided when I was in the 10th grade that I wanted to become a cadet, and I've never looked back. That was one of the best decisions I've ever made.


 
 
 
 

Yes, this IS Port Clinton on New Year's Eve,
and yes, we ARE lowering a 15-foot walleye
into our city square!
