Hello!  My name is Dave, and I live with my wife and 3 Children in Upstate NY

Our home, after a typical 2004 summer rainstorm...

I enjoy digital imaging "manipulation"...
One of my few "holiday traditions" is designing the card.  Below is our history.  The '99 year was unedited.

We moved October 1998 into a 2000 sqft
"soft contemporary" house built in 1987.

After months in the planning stage and hearing how crazy I was, I came up with  a relatively simple, solid design to raise the center ceiling of our bedroom.   The construction took place soon after we moved in, as it is one of those projects one might never get around to later...

Tray Ceiling Project
Not the type that drops the perimeter ceiling down, but instead  raises the center  into the roof peak to add  height

"Next" project (still saying that after 6 years):
"Artists rendition" of my dream garage...
(created using a free version of Adobe Photodelux) 


 
 
 
 
My past interests have included motorcycling, boating, and hang gliding, but many of the "toys" have temporarily been put on hold in order to spend time raising my family.
We enjoy being outdoors, and love to go camping, though my "roughing it" threshhold has decreased to about 2 nights! 
I've always loved the water, and started SCUBA diving with my wife in 1996, which in 1999 led to...
My 120g reef aquarium
 

    In the early spring of 2004, 
I discovered a new "highly addictive" (and $$) hobby: 
Model RC Helicopters

Thanks for visiting, and have a great day!
