About Me
I was born in Oceanside, NY and lived on Long Island till 1990 when I got married and moved to TX. I'm married with 2 boys and live in Leander, TX just north of Austin. I've had symptoms since early 1997 and I was dx'd 12/2000. I retired from being a paramedic in 12/2004 after 23 years (10 yrs in NY & 13 in Austin). Currently spend my time co-hosting the MDA chats that are held 4 days a week and continuing the Will Hubben Research Digest hosted on the ALSTDF website.
