About Me

My photo
Bobby
Connecticut, United States
I was raised the youngest of nine children in an Irish-American-Catholic family. After finishing college I took a job as a railroad conductor until a real job came along. That was 33 years ago. I've been married for 30 yrs to my beautiful wife and we're raising two incredible daughters.
