Personal

I try to enjoy as many hobbies as I can these days.  I have a pilots license and enjoy to fly around South Jersey and Northeastern PA.  I’ve been to 6 continents and love to travel, enjoy sailing on the Chesapeake Bay, golfing, and I try to find time to play the piano.  But more recently, I’ve been enjoying all the time I have at home with my 17 month old son.
