One of the things I like to do for enjoyment is to ride my motorcycle, and I've spent a lot of time doing that in Northwest CT.

For the first seven of those years, I worked as an engineer and the next twenty as a sales professional. My work has allowed me to travel to many places and meet people from all walks of life.
