I was drafted into the US Army after high school. I married Sandra L. Donner (see bio here) on September 28, 1968 and we have 2 children. Our daughter, Michelle, graduated with a Master’s Degree in Higher Education from U.B. and is married to Dr. Daniel Hook, who earned his PhD in chemistry in May 2004. They reside in Rochester. Our son, Eric, earned his BA from Brockport in Sports Management and currently works in Buffalo. The love of my life is our 2 grandchildren, Zachery, age 5, and Natalie, age 2.

I worked as a cost accountant for 22 years at Kohler Machine and Manufacturing, until a career move offered. I’m currently working for Kenyon Enterprises as Training Manager. I enjoy golf, especially with our son. I also directed youth programs for many years when I was on the board of the YMCA.
