I enjoy several outdoor activities- backpacking, fishing, and hunting top the list. As an educator, I have adopted the philosophy of being a lifelong learner. Each year, I try to learn a new skill, sport, or adventure. This has got me into trouble several times. These "learning adventures"�� have ranged from auto repair to spelunking.
