World Travel, Boating, Fishing and spending as much time with family as possible

My Love of architecture has always been a passion of mine. After standing at the base of the Cologne Cathedral in Germany when I was in my 20's I have never lost my thirst for seeing the incredible structures that were created hundreds of years ago and still stand with minimal flaws today, I have traveled back to Germany several times to visit cathedrals, castles and fortresses that have stood the test of time. I have also visited Denmark, Spain, Amsterdam and Switzerland to take in the sights of amazing structures that were built with hand tools by men who had incredible visions.


At home I prefer to be by my children and grandchildren. The boat on the lake, a few fishing poles and the grandchildren is worth more than anything else in the world to me.


I have learned, as I have gotten older, that time moves by much quicker as you get older. Precious time with family is one of the most important aspects in life. My work / life balance is very important to me.

Additional Information

After close to 30 years in the commercial maintenance field and hospital settings I chose to take on a new chapter in my life as the Senior Project Manager of a real estate development company. After 3 years in this position I have come to realize how much I miss the hospital environment, the challenges and the sense of accomplishment I get when going to work every day.
