I am from Oklahoma and have lived here my entire life. I am married and have two boys, with one sharing my birthday. I was formally diagnosed with Young-Onset Parkinson’s in 2025, however, I have lived with symptoms for at least 10 years before getting the diagnosis. I am working for a local university as a business intelligence director. I love pickling and making various jams and jellies (I sort of sell them, but usually give them away).
