Personal interests: I enjoy spending time with my family, especially traveling around Minnesota, up to the North Shore, or down to Lanesboro. We also spend a lot of time around the lakes. My son, Thomas (8), and daughter, Autumn (6), love riding their bikes around Lake Nokomis. We are also huge college sports fans, especially Minnesota Gopher football and basketball.
