Interests

We are a USA Swim Team family; both my sons are competitive swimmers and our weekends are often filled with the joy of watching my sons develop as athletes. I have a passion for all water sports and enjoy natural environments such as Tahoe National Forest. When we are not at swim meets, our winter weekends are snowboarding while summers are open water swimming, paddle boarding, and mountain biking. I strongly believe in getting 3-S's each day: Sun, Sweat, and Silence. I also have a love for animals and we have 3 beautiful dogs; one of which likes to swim more than any of us (our Golden).
