Interests

When I am not sitting at my desk in L-104, I spend most of my time outdoors. I LOVE to ride and race my road, mountain, track, and cyclocross bikes. I also play tennis, run, hike, ski, and swim. My constant companion during all of this outdoor activity is my dog, Helen, who doesn’t seem to mind my philosophy on life- play hard, get messy, wash, rinse, and repeat.
