About Me
I have been married to Eric for almost 10 years. We met at Norwich University in Vermont while leading a hiking trip. I have recently discovered adaptive sports through the VA. Last winter, my husband and I discovered how to ski together again! Cheat if you have to, but get back out there any way you can!
