During his free time, I enjoy spending time with Claire and his family. He is an active hunter and has taken up skiing more especially at Sugarloaf or Saddleback. During the summer you can fine Claire and Andy on motorcycle ride, or he may be up to camp in Monson Maine. Just recently is partner Claire has been certified as a scuba diver, and they are planning on their next vacation to someplace warm to try out those new skills.
