On a personal note, I have three children, Liia (22) Gusten (19), and Kalev (14).
My hobbies include running, skiing, racket ball, and Civil War Living History. I run in several races each year. My favorite races are the Broad Street 10-mile run www.broadstreetrun.com and Brian’s Run 10K www.briansrun.org. I have been running these races since 2001.
My most recent passion is participating in civil war living history as a reenactor. I am the bugler for the 17th PA Cavalry, Company E. Check out information on the 17th PA unit at: www.17pacav.com
