Free-falling, what a thrill! Skydiving in Kauai was probably the most daring thing I have done with my mom and my sisters. Everyone had a great time and is ready to do it again.

Play Ball! I am having a lot of fun coaching my oldest son, Caleb (and hopefully soon my younger son Devon). Right now at this age it is probably more play than actually learning baseball and I am enjoying every minute of it.

Farm to fork- with roots in farming and professional cooking experience in the kitchen, I love to develop new recipes with products we grow.

Growing up playing a lot of baseball, it has also been my favorite professional sport too. I have been born and raised a Dodger fan and despite my college and young professional years up in the Bay Area, I still bleed blue.
