My grandparents immigrated to the United States from the Ukraine in the early nineteen hundreds and settled in Jersey City, New Jersey. When I was one year of age my parents moved to a small town, Martinsville, NJ located in the Watchung Mountains. It was there I received my primary and secondary education in the Bridgewater-Raritan Regional School District. Upon high school graduation I attended Trenton State College and went on for my Masters Degree at The Pennsylvania State University. For the last twenty years I have been working in the Industrial Technology Department at Bridgewater-Raritan High School. For the past five years I have been teaching Digital Imaging and Digital Video in the Bridgewater School District. I have two fantastic children, Suzanne and my son Randall. I have been living in the house that I built for the past 28 years, located in Warren, New Jersey. I began sailing when I was very young on my Uncles Sunfish, with many boats inbetween he ultimately he moved up to a Pearson 424. My wife and I own a house in Venice, FL where I plan on living when I retire in June of 2008 and sail my P35 In the Gulf.

Can't wait!
