Interests

I have a number of interests that keep me occupied when I'm not working. My first passion is travel. I love to go places and see things. My international travel is not extensive, but I have been to Canada, Mexico, Italy, France, and Brazil. My dad's side of the family is from Italy, so that is probably my favorite place to go. The picture of the castle to the left is from my dad's hometown of Vignola, in the Emilia-Romagna region in north central Italy.

My second pursuit is sports. I am a big sports fan and watch more games than I probably should. Baseball is my number one vice. I would give up all other sports in order to keep just baseball if I had to. Being from Texas, I follow the Texas Rangers. My other favorite teams are the Miami Dolphins in the NFL, Juventus in Serie A, and Texas A&M University in any college sport. On top of spectator sports, I enjoy participating in snow skiing, running, racquetball, and tennis.

My third big time waster is music. I have a very large music collection that is wide and varied. Rock and roll is my first love, but I also enjoy Jazz, Blues, 1980s New Wave, as well as many other types. Music keeps me company when I work sometimes.
