When I am not coaching you can usually find me in my studio painting, sculpting or working at the potter’s wheel, gardening in summer or enjoying winter sports. I love and find great grounding and inspiration in nature, family, friends, meditating, art, music, hiking, canoeing, swimming, and the beginner’s mind of continuous learning.
