Personally Speaking

I’m a part thrillseeker and part homebody who values quality time with close friends and family. My technophile side allows me to simplify my life so I have more time to play. Even though I have multiple devices, I still like to read from a “real” book instead of a tablet. Gym memberships don’t work for me – I’d rather be outside where exercise isn’t contrived and my dog can tag along. Powder days are the best thing on the planet, especially on bluebird-sky days.
