About Me

Goggy Coffee: I have been married to my wife for nine years. We seem to have a rotation going for bringing children into our home: first, boy from foster care, then girl from private domestic, boy from foster care, girl from private domestic, and finally boy from foster care. By day, I work in an office. By night, I teach guitar.
