A spouse
I married Mary Golbeck in May 1995. It’s been many years of joy and pain, sadness and happiness. Each of us is different from who we were back then; mostly because we’ve grown together.
A parent
We lost our first child in 1996. Sinéad was born to us three years later, to be followed by Regan, Ash, Eve, Quillan, and Siobhán.
A dog owner
Apollo came to us in October 2007. I’ve wanted a dog for years. When people started stealing clothes off our clothesline, we felt it was time. He’s been the source of fun and frustration. Apollo left us a year later, but Clover came into our home in the fall of 2010 then left in 2011. Kingston joined us in 2016, and has been with us ever since.
A homeowner
Buying a home is a milestone. We hit that milestone in January 2006.
Homeownership empowers people, but it entails a lot of responsibility. This is certainly so when the the home is 100 years old.
