Having grown up and lived in Elkhart, Indiana the majority of his life, Jamie was thrilled to get away from "Michiana". "Michiana" is the annoying term used by many, for the area near and around the Indiana/Michigan border. He was somewhat alarmed and confused when learning that Cincinnati had not only a 2 state connection, but a "tri-state" area. Luckily for him it seems nearly impossible to combine Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana into one word.
If you are into 80's music and were actually around then to live through it, you might have caught Jamie's band "Split Image" touring through Ohio. In between college at IU South Bend and Ball State, Jamie played keyboards and sang, wore parachute pants, and had multi-colored Flock of Seagulls hair….irony is wonderful.
After barely making it through Ball State's Telecommunications Department, he did everything from being a morning DJ/Sales rep at a small radio station, to selling cars, cell phones, and teaching piano.
Evenings and weekends will be spent endlessly bugging his wife Kris (that's what guys do), and playing about any PS2 game you could imagine with his son Josh.
By the way, if anyone does have a good name for the "tri-state" area, send an email, it's starting to get to him.
