Miscellaneous

My spouse and I are members of College Hill Reformed Church, and we have three young children. We both are aspiring gardeners, book collectors, and “healthy” foodies, and I am also an avid runner. In addition, keeping abreast of political developments is itself a full-time hobby, or at least an amusement.
