I have also created coat drives for the students on PDS' school projects, and turkey drives for Foodshare at Thanksgiving. What do you like to do outside of work? I enjoy spending time with my wife, five- year-old son, and four- and two-year-old daughters. Their activities and interests keep me busy outside of work. I also spend time outdoors, watching sports and playing golf.
