Morning person.

Where did I come from? I know I was born in St. Paul, MN and spent the first years of childhood in Wisconsin. Part of my heart still resides there for some reason. I was raised by world travelers and spent my other formative years in Singapore and traveling the globe a bit. My father was a chemist turned marketer and my mother was a english teacher, ragtime pianist, organist, classic-trained choir singer and model of good humor and enthusiasm. I have ancestral roots in Ohio. Attended college in Colorado. Been here now close to a decade.
