I enjoy various activities in my spare time. My
wife and children (daughter born in 2010 and son born in 2012) are my primary focus and priority, but in the
past few years I have also become something of a Vespa enthusiast. I bought my
Vespa in August of 2007 and ride any and every day there isn't snow on the
ground (even the Wall Street
Journal took notice). There is no better way to wake up in the morning,
or let the stress of the day wash away than atop the 2 wheels of a Vespa. The
occasional zip out to Coney Island for a hot dog or along the Brooklyn
waterfront are great ways to put anything, and everything, into perspective. I
have become one of the Organizers of the New York Scooter Club, helping to organize
meet-ups, rides, and rallies for New York City area scooter riders.

I am also an avid skier, snowboarder, and
golfer. Much like with the Vespa I find skiing, snowboarding, and golfing to be
great ways to step back from the stress of work and life and truly relax and
enjoy my surroundings. There are no problems a quiet round of golf, a sunny country Vespa ride, or a perfect day on the mountain (either sunny or full
blizzard conditions) can not solve.
My wife is also and avid skier and we plan to
put our children on skis the first possible allowable moment. My wife does
not share my love of the Vespa so my children's first ride might be later
rather than sooner.
Aside from family, Vespas, skiing and golfing, I
love to keep up with technology. I spend a lot of time surfing the internet
looking for new things to try with my students, new things fellow teachers
might enjoy, or things with which to enjoy some mindless time. Currently, I
am trying my hand at programming an iOS app (iPod/iPhone/iPad).
