Interests Outside of Work: Family, running, golf, all things Boston Red Sox

Best Thing About Being a Santa: Everything! But I especially enjoy meeting kids at our giveaways and seeing their smiles when they pick up, what for many of them, is their first-ever Christmas tree. To know that we are helping them create positive holiday and family memories is a great gift.
