My name is Dave Dardinger.  I’ve always been online under my real name and don’t intend to stop just because I’ve started my own blog.  I originally came from Ohio and for the past 16 years I’ve lived in Arizona.

I was trained as a chemist and biochemist but worked mostly in the heat treating field.  I’ve been only working part-time for several years and this has let me spend lots of time on genealogy.  I have other interests, but I’ll wait till I’ve started blogs or websites on them before bringing them up here.
