"I also go on a week-long bike trip every year somewhere in the US or Canada with three other friends."

I serve on the advisory board of New American Pathways which reflects a strong interest in immigration. I also go on a week-long bike trip every year somewhere in the US or Canada with three other friends. I love live theater and finding new restaurants and ethnic foods.
