Personal Interests:
When not enjoying my work, I enjoy spending time with my
family here in Virginia as well as visiting friends, family and
travel—meeting people from all over. I enjoy the vast array
of music as well as sporting and art events in the region and
volunteering in the community to promote the health and
wellbeing.
Advice for Students:
“The people cannot be all, and always, well informed. The
part which is wrong will be discontented, in proportion to
the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain
quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner
of death to the public liberty. ...”
