More About Me
Interests and Hobbies...
In college, I took an "Adventure Activities" class where we went rock climbing, rappelling, rafting and did a ropes course. The class was a lot of fun and whenever I can I like to try new things in this vein. In 2003, I went swimming with dolphins in Key Largo as a side trip during a conference I attended in Miami and in 2007, I tried horseback riding in Puerto Rico, jet-skiing and parasailing in Malaysia and skydiving in Hawai'i.

Another interest I have is traveling. Any vacation that provides me with constant stimulation is my idea of fun (I am not a sit-on-the-beach type of person...I have to be out doing things!). So far I've been to the Bahamas, St. Maarten, Bermuda, Germany, Austria, France, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, the United Kingdom (England and Scotland), Puerto Rico, Brazil, South Africa, Mauritius, India, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and Japan.

I also really enjoy browsing the Web to try to find useful and interesting websites that make life easier. I especially like the challenge of trying to make travel plans and buy products for the cheapest price possible and am usually able to get significant discounts via coupon codes, rebates and other arcane tricks to save money! Check out some of the links I have provided in the Miscellaneous Links section for some of the websites I really like.
