Personal

I have been married for over twelve years to my wonderful wife Jackie, and we have three great boys.

I am a huge sports fan and my favorite teams are the New York Mets and any team from the University of Virginia. I'm also a big fan of the English Premier League. I have played tennis pretty much my whole life, and still do so quite a bit.

I also enjoy reading. Among the titles I've recently read are A Thousand Splendid Suns, The World is Flat, The Kite Runner, Blink, Freakonomics, How Soccer Explains the World, The Wisdom of Crowds, Marley and Me, The Shame of the Nation, Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web, Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy, and Blood and Oil.
