What is your favorite Rhode Island escape or hobby?
The ocean, Cliff Walk, Chase Farm or Lincoln Woods with my dog, bicycling, shooting at the range, grilling, baking muffins, oysters, listening to records or just flying through the bus tunnel on a hot summer night (probably my favorite thing to do in the city).

Have you ever seen the documentary “Man on Wire”? It’s pretty inspiring, I highly recommend it.

I wish that when I was younger I had spent more time working with my dad and learning more about his craft.
