Aside from my career choice, I am an avid skier, cyclist and triathlete. I am also warming up to swimming. I have competed in 9 Half-Ironman races, 8 of which I completed and one of which ended in a cycling crash. I have completed the Sea to Summit, an endurance and self-directed distance triathlon that ends in a run up Mount Washington's Tuckerman's Ravine. I have completed the 100 on 100 in Vermont, a 100 mile running race, which I ran as a member of a six member team. And, I plan to complete the Natchez Trace 444 on 44, a 444 mile bike race, completed over 3 states in 44 hours. That and two other races scheduled for the 2023 racing calendar have been postponed due to injury.
During my spare time I garden, read, and try to be outside as much as possible. I am an avid blogger and activist for causes close to my heart which include: the improvement of the deplorable nursing home conditions in hundreds of nursing homes throughout the country and the accountability of their owners and operators, a revamping of the guardianship system, which largely ties into nursing homes and a corrupt lobby, better education for handicapped and neuro-diverse children, integrity in government, financial accountability and water resource planning.
I represent families in education matters, particularly when schools are failing their most vulnerable children.
Finally, I hope to obtain a certified fraud examiner certificate.
