When I am not working, you can find me on the sidelines of a sports tournament. My kids play many sports, and I am there coaching and supporting them. I sit on many related boards, pushing for professional, compassionate programs. And when I find some free time, you'll find me on the water, enjoying the incredible beaches and waterways of the Gulf of Mexico.
