Travel, cycling and home improvement projects with my wife.

Have traveled extensively both domestically and internationally highlighted by proposing to my wife in Paris. We rode bikes together on the Champs Elysee's and several major bike events in the U.S. Have cycled as many as 5000 miles in a year and completed the Festive 500, a challenge that runs 12/24 thru 12/31 (310 miles in that week). We are avid snow-shoers and love all things outdoors. Have hiked the Grand Canyon rim to rim twice. We hiked the Lupine Hill in Athens Greece with the reward of seeing the Acropolis (and the many other marvels) from the highest point in Athens. Our home is a showcase of my wife's incredible design vision and talent and my "heavy lifting" on executing the many projects she creates. I enjoy repairing a variety of things from our bicycles, cars (nothing underneath!), appliances and many household items. Learned how to create and install wainscotting and crown molding. Learning and problem-solving new challenges is relaxing and rewarding. You Tube is an incredible resource!
