For me, approaching the subject of me, is rather challenging.

If I were to take the comical route, I would lay out the comic tragedy that was my youth, with all its foibles and missteps.

On the braggadocious side, I would write of some of my later academic exploits - business degrees, law school, and a PhD. However, I'd be sliding down the slippery slope of deceit if I let you believe I was Dr. Jeremy Cowan, Esquire (neither is true).

But, the bottom line is this, I am married to my best friend, I'm the proud father of two handsome boys, and a beautiful little girl. My family is my pride and joy. And while I may pontificate on things less significant, it is always with them in mind.

Having degrees in horticulture and business, there isn't much out there to keep me as engaged and productive as I might otherwise be. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here (ok, maybe).

I am a firm believer in personal responsibility. I think the gulf between action and motive is ever-expanding. And I recognize the American culture as one of the most wasteful on this planet.
