I have lived in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area my entire life. I have been married for many years and have two sons. I love all kinds of music and have been collecting vinyl records for most of my life. In addition, I enjoy history and travel. Since 2012, I have been a volunteer tour guide at Laurel Hill Cemetery, a Victorian-era rural cemetery in Philadelphia. I also write music reviews and feature stories, often for the PopMatters website. It would be fair to say that I have a quirky sense of humor.
