Hobbies

Hi! I'm Kerri! I'm a dog mom to two standard poodles who are always by my side, whether we’re cruising on the boat or taking a sunset swim. I love western trail riding—there's something peaceful about being out on the trail, away from everything. I spent 23 years as a gymnast and was a performing acrobat for funsies. Hot yoga became a natural transition for me, keeping my strength and flexibility intact. I am also a yoga instructor and have been certified in multiple fitness modalities. One of my favorite spots to travel is Sicily. Especially Ortigia and Taormina which hold a special place in my heart, with their warm people, stunning Mediterranean views, and markets filled with the freshest fruits and fish! YUM! I’m lucky to have an olive grove there, where we produce our own extra virgin olive oil. Want some? Just ask :) Above all, I’m always learning. Staying current with the latest scientific research and teaching others is my way of staying connected and growing. Life is about learning and sharing what we know with each other. I can't wait to meet you!
