The Neal Family
Andrea and Dwayne were married on July 5,
2002. Amongst many pleasures, we enjoy our careers and endurance sports.
Shannon
, Dwayne's daughter from his first
marriage, is very active. She was born on March 3, 1997. She
just finished middle school with straight A's. She also loves to dance and play
the violin.
Andrea is a former professional classical dancer
and teacher. She is accomplished in ballet, tap, jazz and modern
dance. Her all-time favorite is tap. She has since become a dedicated
endurance athlete and can be found either running, bicycling,
or swimming in her spare time. She has been a physical therapist
for the past 18 years and specializes in treating dancers and
runners, although now that she is in management, she does not treat
as much.
Dwayne grew up as a speed skater, but was
more often seen running all over Frederick. He started running
competitively when he was 14 years old. He initially went to college
on a track scholarship but soon realized that sleeping through
classes was unlikely to do much for his future. He took up cycling
(human powered) when he was 36. He is the assay validation manager
at the Vaccine Pilot Plant managed by SAIC-Frederick.
