Who am I? Glad you asked! I could write a book about that! But to be brief, “Sono figlio di genatori immigrati italiani.” I am the son of Italian immigrant parents. I am also a proud American and a soldier of God and country.

My parents, like thousands of other Italian immigrants, dared leave all behind. How brave they were to embark toward a strange land, knowing they would be challenged by a language and customs woefully unfamiliar to them.
