Celebrating marital equality in Iowa with my wife, Martha

Celebrating marital equality in Iowa with my wife, Martha (2009)

Emerson (as in Ralph Waldo)

Here I am on a windy day in Illinois with Martha, and my sons, Jacob and Aaron. (2021)

Aaron and his fiance, Sarah (with Moose the cat) (2022)

As empty-nesters, we live with our Papihuahua, Emerson. He is a rescue pet and is a little quirky, but we are besotted with him. Martha is a author and lyricist whose work has been published across several UU platforms and is used in UU churches across the country. Her first book was published through Llewellyn Worldwide in April 2023. Our sons, Aaron and Jacob, are grown and independent. Aaron lives in Chicago IL with his fiance, Sarah, and works in IT. Jacob lives in New York NY and works for Apple. We’re lucky to be able to be with each other a few times across the year.

Extended family at my youngest brother’s wedding. (2021)

My extended family is very important to me. The majority of them live in Houston TX, and Martha and I visit Texas each Christmas season.

And the newest addition to our family is Mole and Mango, our rescue cats.
