In his sparetime, travel is his aderline rush! Loves to travel, from local to global; he just loves to experience new things and to meet new people. He typically winds down from a day of work with a good episode of the Simpsons or Seinfeld, and multiple shows on PBS. When he picks up a book he typically reaches for something that deals with history, otherwise, he will pull a favorite Steinbeck or Vonnegut Jr. from the shelf to get lost in again. The other rush in his life is music, especially live music as he tries to go to at least two shows a month from stadium acts to tiny club editions. Other than that he can be found spending time with family and friends.
