This is my father.  He just took a new position as Professor of Chemistry at Kansas City Community College.  In his spare time, my dad enjoys illegally ripping songs into MP3 (haha), collecting reading glasses, and not drinking Malibu Spiced Rum.

My dedicated mother runs a daycare out of our house in Olathe.  She's taken care of more kids that I, or even she, can remember.  In her spare time, my mom likes to garden (she's "the woman with all the flowers" in my neighborhood).  She also decorates cakes and is a triple black belt in Karate and Judo.  Don't mess with her.

As the adopted son in my family, I am forced to eat gruel and perform slave labor, never seeing the light of day.

just kidding :)

Ian is my very athletic younger brother.  He has trained for years on the unforgiving streets of Olathe to become the talented prize fighter he is today.  He started small but eventually worked his way into the big time.  This is a recent picture after a heavyweight bout with Mike Tyson.

My brother Shaun is also very talented.  He plays every known musical instrument, is a double black belt in Kempo, and can destroy and create computers from scratch.  Upon being asked for computer help, Shaun's favorite reply is "The first thing you should do is format your hard drive. Trust me."

Tyler is perhaps my most talented younger brother.  He can recite the names, weaknesses, and special powers of every Pokemon.  He is also a dedicated young entrepreneur, running several businesses from the seat of his desk in sixth grade.  These include the trading of Pokemon cards, the sale of manufactured goods (such as beaded lizards), and a small time gambling ring.
