I've been married to Ed for 22 years. We have a son Corey, 16 and a daughter Erin, 7. Both play ice hockey. In my free time, I like to do things with my family, make quilts & counted cross stitch pictures, snow ski, scuba dive and run. We love to travel to out of the way places to scuba dive and vacation.
My current management challenge is how to engage with teams in an agile software development environment.
