My major interests outside of work are my family including three children, one adorable (if I may say so myself) grandson and a large, friendly, not very bright black labrador retriever, not necessarily in that order.   

I am a runner, although not a very fast one, but I benefit from a dwindling number of competitors in my age group on the theory that if I can't get faster, at least I can get older. 

I enjoy traveling and have been honored to lead groups of family law professionals to South Africa, Vietnam and Cambodia, Rwanda and Cuba.  Finally, for 11 weekends every fall (12 if they make a bowl game), I am intensly concerned that the Wisconsin Badgers do not fall back on the old habits from the days I went to school there - all wins are welcome.
