A little more detail...
My name is Dane Griffith. I was born in the mountains of southern West Virginia where I was part of a large extended family, while I only have one sibling: my sister Suzanne (22yo), I had a veritable plethora of cousins and neighbors to grow up with-- which would serve to explain my social nature and ease at making new friends.

My family is extremely important to me, and although I often describe myself as "rural raised, urban educated," I enjoy going back to the old home place to get a calm refocus on life.
