When I'm not Working, I enjoy: Woodworking, yardwork, hanging out with my wife (Grace) & our dog (Rey), travel, food, the Boston Red Sox, and soccer!

Favorite Place on or near Campus: International Market…I could eat there three times a day for the rest of my life and be happy! I also love Bongo Java for some energy throughout the day!

Self Care Tip: I think for many of us including myself there is a sense of having a never ending to-do list and struggling to slow down for fear we may fall further behind. My tip is that taking a break to rest, or recharge, or doing something life-giving is worth more than the time spent doing it. Those things recharge our battery, increase our focus, and provide a new and fresh way of re-engaging with our responsibilities. Make time for yourself to do things that are restful and life-giving.
