Any hobbies you want to share?: I have been sailing a Catalina 27 on Lake Travis for the last year and love it. Learning to sail and fixing up the boat are how I like to spend most of my free time at the moment.

What is the best under-the-radar thing to do in your town?: While not under the radar, we spend a lot of weekend days at Barton Springs. Hamilton Pool and the Jester King Brewery are two great places to visit in the hill country.

Describe your ideal weekend?: My ideal weekend wound involve a cocktail and dinner out on Friday. We would go sailing on Travis on Saturday and eat somewhere out in the hill country. On Sunday, we would start the day with a swim at Barton Springs and have a quiet afternoon at home to get ready for the week ahead.

What do you never travel without?: A good book and my green suitcase
