On a Lighter Note
What is something interesting we wouldn’t learn about you from your resume alone?
Our family moved to Tokyo, Japan, for two years. It was a wonderful experience for our entire family. Living in a foreign country is a humbling and eye-opening adventure, one we very much enjoyed.
Are there causes you like to support?
For the last few years, my family has participated in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Out of the Darkness Walk to raise money and awareness for the cause.
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
Our life very much revolves around our three children, ages 15, 13, and 11. We spend our free time shuttling children to and from lacrosse, volleyball, soccer, skiing, music lessons, and Japanese lessons. We love to travel and explore new areas of the world.
