I am, first and foremost, a lifelong student of the classical piano with a strong preference for music of the Romantic era.

I enjoy tasting wines from a variety of appellations; however, my palate tends to gravitate toward French wine. The complexity and elegance of a good Burgundy is difficult to beat; however, the Bordeaux region produces outstanding wine that has withstood the test of time with uncanny finesse.

Part of my weekly routine is to practice for United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) competitions. I compete in the single stack division with a Colt 1911 but am interested in trying out revolver division with a Smith & Wesson Model 25 some day when I’m feeling bold.
