I just realized that many people that stop by this site are probably wondering if I am color blind.  :)  But the orange and purple does have some significance... they are the school colors of Clemson University where I went to school and got a BS in Biological Sciences.  I am a big fan of their football (american style) team the Clemson Tigers.  If you get a chance check out some of the history of Death Valley (the stadium where they play) it is pretty interesting.  It is one of the loudest stadiums in the world when its filled on Saturday afternoons.  Another interesting fact is that the Tigers make one of the most unique entrances in college football or as a famous sports caster tagged it "the most exciting 25 secs in college football."  You can read more about it at Wikipedia.

Also, check out Clesmon's site to see what its all about.

I have updated my site to a system called DotNetNuke (DNN) which will allow me to update the site more often and also control some security for people who want to view pictures of my family.  I went with some Clemson colors on my theme for the site I hope you like it.
