Hobbies or Special Talents:

Skiing, Biking, Politics, Golf, I spend a lot of time with my daughters and have enjoyed their sporting events, including gymnastics, softball and swimming. I personally enjoy biking, skiing, fishing and golfing. The running paths around Golden and on South Table Mountain are great -- which one reason I fought so hard to keep NIKE from developing the top of the mesa when they proposed building a headquarters there some years ago.
