I have been married for almost 24 years, and I am the proud father of a 20 year old daughter AND fellow Patch writer (See Madison, Montville and Nyack-Piermont Patch). I love a good meal out, especially "down the shore" or anywhere Italian food is served, and pairing it with a nice glass of cabernet is divine. I am also an avid reader, and big Johnny Mathis and Little River Band fan.
