Dr. TAB currently has no pets, but has owned beagles for many years and hopes to get back into pet ownership again as his son, Tommy, born February of 2012, and his daughter, Jillian, born February of 2013 get a little older.
Dr. TAB fills much of his free time volunteering locally as an adult leader in the Boy Scouts of America. He enjoys a number of outdoor activities including hiking, biking, disk golf, kayaking, canoeing, and geocaching. His current favorite is geocaching which often takes him on mini-adventures that allow him to explore nature in interesting local and sometimes further away corners of the world while allowing him to combine some of his other interests as well.
