Growing up, I never had a chance to do adventurous activities, so I make sure my kids have the opportunity to play every day outside!

I would love to raft the Mighty Colorado River and pass through Grand Canyon National Park!
What has been your favorite adventure experience?The first time I went whitewater rafting on the Kennebec River in Maine. I loved rafting so much that I would do half dozen trips from Jersey to Maine to go on the river. It was a life changing experience for me. I had almost finished my accountant degree and change my major to Recreation Mgmt. and Outdoor Leadership. This lead to traveling and working throughout all the New England states & I was working or playing outside every day of the year.
What would you do with $10,000?I would take my family out to get ice cream to celebrate! Then I would donate some of the money to charity to the Parks and Recreation in my town to create fun activities for children and adults. My wife and I never got to go on our honeymoon so I would rent a house boat and take my family down the Erie Canal.
