I was born in Illinois and only lived there for the first 4 years of my life. Then, we moved to Maryland for business reasons. I attended Candlewood Elementary School, Robert Frost Middle School, and Northwest High School.
After graduating at Northwest, after leaving my parent's home, traveled to Canada to attend Normon Paterson School of International Affairs of Carleton University at Ottawa. After graduating there, I moved back to the United States to Baltimore.
I am now married, and have 3 special children.
I am also a licensed pilot, even though I have never flown a plane (I was a pilot once, but after an almost- an- accidental incident, I quite) I, however still have my license. However, my main profession is being a diplomat.
For three years, We lived in Munich, but was forced to move back.
For five months, we lived in London, but once again was forced to move back.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling chronic illness. People with ME/CFS experience profound fatigue that does not go away with rest, sleep issues, and problems with memory or concentration. The hallmark symptom is a worsening of the illness which starts hours to days after minor physical or mental activity, and lasts from hours to several months. The cause of the disease is unknown. ME/CFS often starts after an infection, and many people fit the ME/CFS diagnostic criteria after contracting long COVID. Diagnosis is based on symptoms because no diagnostic test is available. The illness can improve or worsen over time, but full recovery is uncommon. No therapies or medications are approved to treat the condition, and management is aimed at relieving symptoms. About a quarter of those affected are unable to leave their bed or home. People with ME/CFS often face stigma in healthcare settings, and care is complicated by controversies around the cause and treatments of the illness. (Full article...)
