Grew up in Illinois, moved to Florida for a while, joined the Navy Submarines and went to Connecticut for sub duty. Got out, went back to Florida till the cost of living drove me away, back to Illinois to finish up school, then off to South Carolina for 11 years. Then back to Connecticut to get closer to family, but always had my sights set on Colorado (where I also have family) and the mountains. Moved here a year ago almost, love it, and ain't moving again!
