What are your favorite hobbies outside of racing?

My favorite hobby would probably be camping. Camping is a big part of what we do as a family, and being with family is something that I value pretty highly. It’s very important to me. I also like to play sports — men’s league basketball is something that I’ve started up. I’m very passionate about basketball and following along with all the teams. Just watching basketball and football is something that I enjoy doing.

What are your favorite hobbies outside of racing?

I really enjoy the winters in Vermont. I like to snowboard and get on the mountain when I can. My summers consist of hanging out on Lake Champlain and getting on a boat any possible chance I have. I’ve always loved sports, too. I still play some pick-up basketball and pick-up rugby here and there, which is something I picked up in college.
