When not at work most of my time is allocated to the running of two stores in Dallas Center, one a boutique antique/gift store and the other an art gallery and concert venue. I enjoy cooking and deep-sea fishing (not easy to do in Iowa), but the building of custom (commissioned) furniture takes up the remainder of my free time anyway.
