the basics

My name is Kenton Kilgore. I was born in Heidelberg, Germany, in 1966 but have been an American citizen all my life. I have lived in Chicago, Illinois; Phoenix, Arizona; and (since 1980) in the Baltimore-Washington DC area. I am married (since 1988) and have two kids. 

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature from the University of Maryland, and a Master's Degree in English Literature from Washington College. I work for the federal government as a Business Manager. In the past, I’ve been a technical writer/editor, a college instructor, and a banker. 

me and joni

This is my wife, Joni. She's a Pittsburgh girl I met and started dating in my second year of college. She says she married me for "entertainment value." I'm okay with that. 

Bethy and Ally

These are our kids, Elizabeth (who's 12 1/2) and Alexandra (7). Like most parents, we believe our children are proto-primates, and thus we force them to live outdoors on a series of suspended cargo nets. Don't you? 

champycookie

These are some of the more-or-less worthless animals that infest our home. Oh, sure, they look cute, but they're all dangerous sociopaths. Especially Cookie, the black Lab mix.
