Interests and Hobbies
Traveling and exploring new places, gardening, home improvement projects, reading anything written by Barbara Kingsolver, following the Red Sox, getting swept up in March Maddness, and participating in a wide variety of sports, including golf, tennis, skiing, biking, windsurfing and volleyball. But mostly I enjoy helping my two daughters experience their world and discover their passions.
