My wife Linda and I have a place in the country where we live with our ponies, dog, cats and reef fishes. Linda is a former respiratory therapist who now owns a real estate business in Bloomington, Indiana. I love to read, do nature and science-related photography, scuba-diving and woodworking and generally being outdoors with Linda. I am lucky to be father of four wonderful people; Alex Jr, Robert, Carolyn and Christopher.
