To begin my story I want to give a few background details about myself for those who do not already know. Some of these things I will delve deeper into in future posts.
I was born Kevin Daniel Pomeroy on August 15, 1983 to Jeffery Pomeroy and Linda Ciccone in Ventura County, California. I am the oldest of 5 children. Brian, my brother, is second oldest, followed by 3 sisters, Amy, Kimberly, and Marisa.
My dad is a mixture of European heritage, but primarily English and German. He was an only child and was raised in California. He was raised to excel academically, and was taught a strong work ethic by his parents who both had careers.
My mom is Italian, both of her parents were born in Italy and came to America for better opportunities and to raise a family. They had 3 children, Umberto (Bert), Bruno, and my mom the youngest. None of their children or grandchildren were taught Italian, because my grandfather felt that since they were in America that they should speak English. I understand his reasoning but many of us have regretted not being raised with our linguistic heritage.
I think that covers the basics of my background. I will continue spending more time filling in information as I go along.
