Volunteer with the American Red Cross, avid pickleball player and hiker

I'm a DAT volunteer with the American Red Cross.  As a disaster action team member (on call one weekend out of a month), I respond to calls when people are impacted with a home fire or other local disaster.


I picked up Pickleball after a tennis injury and have become a avid player, playing 2 to 3times a week.


Hiking has always been a activity I've enjoyed whenever time permits.
