During my high school commencement, my principal described me as a Renaissance man. I was an honors graduate, peer counselor, drum major, baritone, track athlete, etc. The title stuck with me ever since.

I am a native of Gloucester and Middlesex counties, the oldest of Ben and Connie Beverley’s kids. I have a huge extended family, with my dad being the 13th of 21 kids. My mom’s family were pillars of the community; my grandmother was a hair dresser, and my grandfather, a barber an insurance salesman. Born and raised in the church.  Played the piano.  Occasionally ushered.

I fancy myself a country boy with city tendencies. Dad had his boys on lawn mowers at a young age, racking wood on the porch, fishing, cooking, tending to the garden, etc. Where I’m from, everybody knows everybody, we help each other, just good “salt of the Earth” types. I love the simple, quiet life, but my education and career took me to the city and suburbs.  I love the diversity and modern conveniences you can find in the city!

I am extremely blessed to have my wife, Christine, and our two teenagers in my life.  Christine and I are one of the surviving couples of the early Internet days.  The boys have a digital acumen that rivals millennials, and I am not biased.  We are a tech-savvy house by occupation and interest.  It’s awesome to have all four of us working on various projects and helping each other.
