• Cycling is a great way to stay in shape as well as enjoy the beauty of the Bay Area.  I am active in Western Wheelers Bicycle Club (www.westernwheelers.org/main/index.htm) and probably the Almaden Cycle touring Club - ACTC (www.actc.org) .
• White water rafting is a favorite activity of mine since high school and I have been guiding white water raft trips since 1990 or so.  And the first time I camped at Camp Coloma was in 1981.
• Acting is exhilarating and a wonderful activity for me.  I usually perform in one show a year for Woodside Community Theatre (www.woodsidetheatre.org). Recent shows include “Oklahoma”, “Anything Goes”, and “The Music Man”.  With Travis playing at football at SJSU, these years, I tend to do more back stage stuff as his football provides too many conflicts for me to be able to perform.
• Toastmasters (as a member of North Valley Toastmasters - www.nvtm.org) - since 1989.  This is a great way to enhance/expand your ability to speak in public.
• Membership in “Friends of the River” (www.friendsoftheriver.org) - an organization that supports rafting as well as ways to help protect some of the many rivers that are still available to the public.
• Cooking - I really enjoy cooking.  My style is often that of creating something based on what I can find in the kitchen. But I use recipes when necessary (especially if I haven’t prepared a given dish in the past.)
• Gardening is something that I find as a wonderful way to get fresh vegetables and spices, un-stress, not to mention generating my own mulch rather than tossing vegetation based wasted into the garbage fill.
• I like working with my hands as well.  I recently build a new deck for my parents house, some large (6’ x 2.5’ x 2.5’) planter boxes for my parents and my son (at his mothers house.) But I find all kinds of “handiman” projects to be fun (painting, sheet rock, grouting, you name it.)
• Scuba Diving is another fun activity.  As a child, I was jealous of the birds, soaring free in the air, unfettered by gravity. When I scuba dive, I can do the same thing.  While I enjoy “flying” through the kelp forests in Monterey Bay, I have been scuba diving all over including Australia, Trinidad & Tobago, Hawaii, etc.
