About Me
After graduation in 1983, I moved to Santa Barbara, CA. In 1986 I was married then later we moved to Modesto CA. People say there are 2 types of California, the coast and Oklahoma… I lived in both. After having a son (Steven, now 20) we decided to move back east (both of us are from Long Island, NY). We wanted to be close to family but not too close so we chose RI. Some time in 1993 or 1994 I was divorced.
On 9/11/1999 was remarried a woman from one of our local fellowships, Rhonda Vallante and we recently celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary. Rhonda has 2 boys of her own (Michael, now 23 and John, now 19).
I have always been involved with home fellowships and every other Sunday would go to a morning service that was held at a local hotel. The believers here decided to buy property and build a church to hold services every Sunday morning and have various events there. We just celebrated our 4th anniversary of the church. You can visit the web site at LivingFaithRI.org, you may even see some familiar faces in the photo section since there are a few Corps grads from here and we get visitors from other states (mainly NY).
My Interests
My interests are learning more about the scriptures and endeavoring to apply them. I enjoy being involved with our little church in any way that I can.
I like to work with digital photography and incorporate scriptures to them. I sell them in our church bookstore just so I can keep my hobby going.
Even though I haven’t done it in a while I like to golf, play tennis play softball, really any recreational sports that will not make me too sore the next week.
Employment or Career
Currently I am a Mortgage Loan Officer for Metrocities Mortgage but will be making a move very shortly to either a local Credit Union or a National Lender. I've been in the mortgage business for the past 10 years.
Music I Like
Mostly the older stuff. Whenever I turn on the radio I wind up on an oldies station or I flip to AM and listen to talk radio. If I put in a CD it's usually christian music.
Books I Like
Pop up books... no really I never read novels, I wait until the movie comes out. Mainly I read the Bible or some books with specific topics in the Bible. Sometimes I will read self help books geared toward sales or the mortgage and real estate industry.
Television I like
Prison Break, 24 most sporting events.
Movies I like
Braveheart, The Patriot, I liked the HBO mini series John Adams, Dumb and Dumber, Something About Mary and many more.
Sports Teams I like
NY Yankees, NY Giants, NY Jets, NE Patriots.

stay in touch.
It is great to see your smile and be able to say hello. You look great.
I love music and some songs are permanently connected to people.
Every single time I hear "feels so good" by Chuck Mangione, I see you, very young, probably 17 or 18 talking about how much you loved that song.
It was at a weekend in the word some place where we met before the corps.
You were always positive and easy going, I always enjoyed being your friend and I am glad we can reconnect,
God bless you,
Ester

Wow, your son really resembles you when you were young and tender.
Did you know Dave Hanson lives in R.I. too?
Great to see you here.

What a blessing to get your message. I enjoyed the pictures of you and your son and your wife. I remember when you stopped at our house in El Sobrante so many years ago when he was a baby. We lived there for 4 years and then moved to Benicia in the North SF Bay where we lived for 18 years. I just moved to East Haddam, Ct with my new husband, Bobby. He is the one that spoke the word to me in San Francisco in 1974. We reconnected by a miracle and were married in March. My daughter, Julia, is in college in Ca.
Yes, Rhode Island is close to where I am. By the way, Ray used to play music with Sam Pruyn - they were good friends. I hope you enjoyed the pics of Ray on my site. And of course, I remember you from Santa Barbara. Those were wonderful times. J.
so what's up with you?
