Interests:
I enjoy a variety of activities including bicycling, kayaking, motorcycling, traveling, and remodeling.
Were you undeclared?
Yes! I really was unsure what I wanted to do. It took me a while to figure out a major and I certainly felt the pressure to declare something.
Something fun!
I’ve taken two big motorcycle trips. In 1995, I drove 12,000 miles around the U.S. camping and exploring the country. In 1996, I went with my father on a 7,500 mile trip to the Arctic Circle (via Alaska) and back.
