I'm passionate about genetic genealogy because it has impacted my life on a profound level. Through this technology, I discovered my birth father and 8 new siblings at the age of 52. It's a story that I am happy to share the details with you when we speak.
Although genetic genealogy can indeed help you discover lost relatives, it can also help you fill in your family history and can be a fun heirloom to pass down to the next generation.
My story is the age-old story of searching for connection to my birth father. I began researching genealogy in my 20's. I researched extensively and educated myself on the latest methods.
My family tree has more than 54,000 people with documented connections to European royalty, dating back into the 4th Century.
I discovered DNA genetic research over a decade ago and it provided me with the means, with absolutely certainty, to know my genetic relatives.
I have participated in the discovery of new genetic research (SNP L573 via FTDNA WTY) and have taken every DNA test from almost every major DNA testing company.
I have been requested by Law Enforcement to participate in "cold case" genetic genealogy investigations.
In addition, Harvard required me to prove my DNA knowledge by passing their genetic exam, allowing me to be accepted into the Harvard PGP Program.
My career spans from serving 6 years in the US Navy to more than 34 years as a Senior Engineering Manager at Raytheon Corporation, one of the most prestigious aerospace companies in the world. I have a wonderful loving family and retired in South Florida. Blending my passion for genetic genealogy, my analytical experience and creative ability to find a solution, makes this the next logical step for me.
Through this journey, I have a peace and joy knowing my entire family history. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have had to discover my history and would be honored to assist you in discovering yours.
I look forward to hearing from you.
