avoth

Married to a wonderful woman with two great kids, I evaluate controls within automated systems and applications for a living and operate a Personal Training business on the side.

I happen to be Jewish, although not particulary observant. Traditional American values as well as Jewish values are very important to me. Consequently, I'm a Conservative politically.

I don't believe it's necessary to tear others down in order to build oneself up.
