  • My faith provides a foundation that keeps my life in perspective. I am an active member of Westminster Presbyterian Church and especially enjoy singing in their choir.
  • My cat, Sunny Boy, reminds me not to spend all night at the office.
  • Classical music concerts, theater, movies and books are wonderful distractions I try to indulge occasionally.
  • Knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, and hardanger are my current creative outlets. I especially enjoy designing many of the projects I make.
