DOWN SYNDROME

Our oldest son, Gabriel, has Down syndrome. He is maker of joy and a great big brother. He rolls just about everywhere with me.

ADOPTION

Our daughter is a spitting image of me except for the image. We've been inseparable since she was 6 weeks old. A couple years ago we found out she had a biological brother so we adopted "Bubba" too.

COACHING

I used spend a lot of time coaching girls basketball.  That's because of Emma. She's a great point guard. Now, I'm waiting for Bubba to turn 3 to start up again.

LATIN DANCE

Salsa, Merengue, Bachata - few things are more fun then dancing. What else combines music, movement, and socializing? I love to perform and teach too. Most of my friends in Philadelphia were through dance. I haven't plugged in to the community in Iowa yet.

TECHNOLOGY

In my work life I focus on digital marketing including websites, content management, writing, social media, SEO, PPC, video production, apps, CRM systems. I also spend a lot of time reading about robotics, nanotechnology, transportation, gene therapy and medical advances. Love Syfy!

COMMUNITY

Community matters. Now in Iowa City, I'm particularly interested in school issues, downtown development, smart growth initiatives, and startup business incubators.
