Who Am I?

I am a 52-year-old Department Coordinator for the Environmental Services department at the University of Rochester. I have been married to my wife Shari for 17 years now, and we have no children - but we do have 2 dogs and a turtle. I have stage 4 kidney disease, and I am looking to get a transplant before I have to go on dialysis.

My Interests:

i am a huge Mets and Cowboys fan. I enjoy collecting sports memorabilia, and cruising as much as possible with my wife.

My Diagnosis:

Stage 4 kidney disease

How A Kidney Transplant Will Affect My Life:

It will mean everything, our bucket list has too many items on them and I cannot go out without having my wife experience them with me. Please consider donating, even if we are not a match you can donate through the paired kidney exchange.

My Blood Type: B
