I love to cook great food and drink great wine all-the-while spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy painting, traveling and competing in triathlon (while also cheering on my friends!). It makes me happy to help people do things they first thought impossible. Whether it be that first open-water ocean swim in a triathlon, raising thousands of dollars for charity or confidently riding up a long hill, the look of pride when they cross that finish line is something that brings me great joy.

Adventure! Anything that involves new experiences, making memories or just having a laugh - there is always a reason to smile.

A good story always gets me, whether I'm writing, listening to, or reading it in an old dog-eared paperback.

Well-crafted puns, impromptu haiku slams, and live blues stumbled upon happenstance are just a few of my day-makers.

I love traveling and all of unique cultures, foods, landscapes, relationships, and experiences that come along with it.
