I live in Minneapolis, MN with my wife, Annie, and our cats, Penguin and Oreo. I enjoy sailing, live music, and travel. My favorite destination so far is Sydney, Australia, although Norway and the Bahamas are close runners-up. Those of us from Minnesota know that it’s really hard to beat summertime in northern Minnesota.
