About LastRites

Married, father of one (soon-to-be two). Moved to the Northwest side of town in December, after a 10-month stint on the Southwest.

I currently work at The Bakersfield Californian as the assistant sports editor. I'm the lead page designer for the sports section, so I spend most of my days/nights in the office.

My wife is a teacher at Olive Drive Elementary School, and so far we've enjoyed our time living NOR.

We're Midwesterners. I'm from central Indiana, she's from northern Minnesota. We moved to Bakersfield in December 2006 after two transcontinental trips. We met when she was a teacher in Blythe and I was the sports editor in Yuma, Ariz. We moved to a suburb of Charlotte, N.C. for my job and got married a year after the move. Fourteen months after getting hitched our son came along and now we're waiting for the arrival of No. 2 in mid-May.
