2 sons:
Dylan (University of Colorado @ Boulder and is my adventurer as he went to the fire academy in California, became a surfer, and now in Tech Securities at Berkley)

I love to travel and garden. Running is a daily in my life and I practice yoga. Skiing is a major passion of mine and my family. You can always find us in the trees!
