J. (his full name is Julian) is the youngest of five children.  While his brothers and sisters were much older, J. grew up surrounded by his nieces and nephews, where he developed knack for consoling infants, changing diapers, and entertaining children.  Growing up, J. loved to take things apart and put them together again (he usually got them back together!).  He also enjoyed playing the trumpet in the marching and concert bands, and worked very hard to earn enough money to buy his first car when he turned sixteen.

J.'s parents taught him to be polite and respectful of others, to value hard work and education, and to always do his best.

J. has found his calling as an Information Technology Manager, where he can fulfill his love of working with computers and networks (and taking them apart and putting them together again).  J. loves working with his hands, whether it is woodworking, doing home repairs, building the deck onto our house.  J. also enjoys photography and has an interest in aviation.
