I am Neal Stapel. I have an awesome wife (Marcia), a very bright and very beautiful daughter (Zoe), and a rough and tumble son, Patrick (Patch). We adopted Zoe from China on 9/11. Patch hit the scene in 2004. Zoe named him after the pink starfish on SpongeBob (he doesn’t know yet). Together, we all live very near Lake Wylie, South Carolina.
