When I'm not tickling the 10-key, there's a good chance you'll find me tickling the 88-keys on a piano. My favorite types of music are classical and Broadway Show tunes. Or, I might just as easily be found with a saw and hammer working on a myriad of home improvements. When I need a break, I love to get away to the natural beauty that surrounds us here in Oregon. I hike, bike, and cross-country ski to enjoy the outdoor splendor.
