Fun fact: I backpacked through Asia for 16 months.
An avid traveler who has been to 6 continents and 90+ countries. I love playing pickleball, mountain biking and hiking in the Wissahickon Creek State Park a few blocks from the property, and projects in the yard. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, eating out at restaurants, going to the theatre, yoga, and trying new things.
