Dorf Factoids...

I once toured with Toad the Wet Sprocket

My nickname as a boy was "Nort" or "Norton"?

I once had a week-long fling with the daughter of the Doubleday Publishing's President and CEO?

I have no ACL in either knee

childhood memories

I find it a bit embarassing to talk about oneself, but what the hell. I'm basically a lifelong resident of Manitowoc, WI. Except for a few years spent in southern WI and Northern IL, Manitowoc has been my home. It's a great place to raise a family, though it can get a little cold and boring during the winter months.

My formative years were spent mosty playing sports all summer long and at Lincoln High---Football, Basketball and Track. I was fortunate enough to play in two state basketball tournaments, two state track meets (State champs in 1980) and made All-FRVC as a running back and as a guard (basketball) for LHS. High school was a blast. An ACL injury during my senior year quashed any hopes I had of playing past high school, though I did run track,play lacrosse and party at Ripon College earning a degree in Sociology and Anthropology.

Married and divorced with two boys, I am now again married to the lovely Yumi and coaching the boys when time permits. See, with Yumi in my life I have gained another son and two daughters. It's all good even though at times I want to run away and never come back.

My latest hobbies are backcountry camping with Yumi. Before that it was web design. Before that it was guitar. Before that it was web design. Before that it was golf. I still do those other things, but our trip to Glacier in 2004 changed my life and now the mountains are my obsession.
