I’m a pretty private person (at least I think I am), but when your business is you, people need to know who you are in order to work with you. So forgive me if I am going on about me, me, me. It is against my nature, but I’m pushing on!
Here are 21 things you might not know about me.
1. I enjoy painting (but don’t take the time for it) and have been in two plein air auctions in Maine, thanks to the coaxing of my Aunt Ellen.
2. I once won the blue ribbon for an apple pie making contest at the church fair.
3. I sang in a church choir for a few years.
4. I am learning to sing Mozarts’ Requiem and will be performing in a choir in a few weeks.
5. I am a certified scuba diver, and have done night dives, cave dives, wreck dives, and diving with sharks.
6. I backpacked through four European countries alone when I was 25 years old.
7. I played intermural basketball in high school.

17. I’ve lived in New York, Boston, Michigan, and New Jersey.
