Owner, editor, and proprietor of the Echo. Native of Rush and now an expatriate. I’m the first in six generations to raise a family outside of Rush. I feel very connected to the town because of all the history in my family. I’m a web developer and have a Public Communications degree. I spent most of my career doing accounting and number processing to pay my bills. Now that I am older, I’m getting back to writing and doing what I originally wanted to do in a career. My wife and I have been married for almost 40 years with 3 grown children. My wife is from Europe, and I have spent many vacations in the last 20 years traveling the world. It definitely affects my opinions.
