I also love to cook new exotic dishes for family and friends. When I’m craving some alone time or need to clear my head I will often go for a run. I find the rhythm of the pavement renews my heart and soul. Most importantly I enjoy time with my children, loved ones, and my dog. Each of them enriches my life and allows me to be at my best when I’m working.
