I was born in 1952 in a small town called Badhoevedorp,
near Amsterdam in the Netherlands. I came to the US in 1956 with
my parents and brother, and grew up mostly on Long Island. I got my BA
from Penn State,
and my MS and
PhD
from
Oklahoma
State, all in Psychology. In 1972, I married Judy Kovarik,
the
girl next door back in Bay Shore, NY. Judy and I have three
wonderful
daughters -
Jenny,
Merry, and Katey - and we
live contentedly among the Amish
in the rural splendor of the Cumberland
Valley of
Pennsylvania.
