Facts and Fun Stuff about Ken and Nancy
(Click on underlined words for a photo)
We live in Needham, MA, which is about 14 miles from Boston. We are
just a stone's throw from Babson College and the town of Wellesley. We've lived
in Needham since 1992, the year we were married. Needham is
where Nancy grew up
and where her mom, Irene, still lives. In fact, the street where
we live is the same street where Nancy's parents bought their first house!
I (Ken) was born and raised in New Jersey. So, how did a Jersey boy meet a
fair-haired maiden from Massachusetts? It turns out that Nancy lived in Summit,
NJ for several years while working in Manhattan. We met on a blind date one
blustery day in February 1989 and, as they say, the rest is history.
Fun stuff about Ken
I'm an identical
twin. My twin brother and sister-in-law, David
and Irma, live in
New Hampshire. I am the oldest twin by five minutes. Not a lot, but just enough
to make me the "senior guy". I have a younger brother, Stephen, who
lives with his wife, Rita (aka RJ) and their daughter, Emma, in
Richmond, VA. My mother, Jean, lives in Short Hills, NJ. I also have
a step-sister, Jinger, who lives in California with her husband, David.
I graduated from Seton Hall University with a BA in Communications
Arts. After Seton Hall, I attended the Chubb Institute for Computer
Technology, where I was trained in computer programming. I've worked in the
financial services industry in Boston for many years. I love Boston and never
grow tired of walking around town enjoying the historic sights!
When I am not working in Boston, I enjoy taking care of our home in Needham
and working in the yard. I am forever trying to get the lawn to look better than
the year before. I also am a "car guy", which means I like
taking care of my car.. I've taken several home repair
courses at a local technical school and enjoy putting my skills to use around
the house. My dream is to spend a day with the crew of This Old
House!
Fun stuff about Nancy
Nancy was actually born in NJ when her dad was on a
temporary assignment at Bell
Labs. But since she spent most of her childhood in Massachusetts, I'm afraid she doesn't
qualify as a Jersey girl !
Nancy went to Mount Holyoke College and, after working a few years, went back
to earn her MBA at Harvard University. She has lived and worked in Washington,
D.C., and New York city. She supports a business women's networking
Internet site.
Nancy is an exercise nut. Well,
"nut" seems like a strong term but I
don't know what else to call a person who gets up at 4:30 AM and walks in the
dark to her gym to attend an aerobics class before the sun comes up! She
loves to exercise and seems to do enough of it for two people, which is a good
thing as I have not been doing my share lately. Her dream job is to be a
personal trainer. Maybe someday she can become a personal
trainer and I could be her client!
