Interests

I enjoy most of my time outdoors. During the warmer months here in New Jersey, I am a hiker and an amateur photographer. During the colder months here in New Jersey, I enjoy photoing, and animal observing in the mountains and seaside.

When forced indoors, I enjoy baking cakes, painting, and reading.
