Tell us about your life outside of work (family/pets/sports/activities/interests/hobbies)
I have two daughters that I enjoy spending time with when they have a breather from their full schedule of activities and school. Some fun things that we like to do are cook, watch movies, listen to music, visit the art district, and explore the various art galleries, and talk about things that they experience in their daily activities.
I belong to a book club that is located in the art district and enjoy the monthly meeting to discuss the new books we have read. I believe maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important, so I swim three days a week at the local club and workout on a Bowflex three times a week at home. I am interested in the different types of art in the art district and attending the frequent events. With each visit, I learn something new.
