Hello, my name is Matt Pennington.

I grew up in Northwest Ohio on an apple orchard in the country among corn and soybean fields.  My parents still own and operate the orchard.

I married Robin Macklin just before I went to graduate school.  We have two daughters, Rose born in Dallas Texas in 1995 and Beatrice Lily born in Dhahran Saudi Arabia in 2005.  Oh, we have a dog as well, Tera-Byte, a female basset hound (I'm hopelessly out numbered)...

There are numerous stories and pictures of our family in the Family, Photo Album and Adventures sections.
