On a more personal note...
I enjoy spending my non-working hours with my family. My husband and I love spending time together with our son and yellow lab. I can often be found exploring local hiking trails, camping in Wisconsin State Parks, snowshoeing in the winter, gardening, cooking, visiting local restaurants, and traveling whenever I have the opportunity.
