Personal
Currently, I call the charming town of Norfolk, Massachusetts my , where I reside with my amazing wife, Anne. Our household is lively, thanks to our three fantastic children: Christy, Kevin, and Michael, who are the true lights of our lives. Despite them flourishing in their careers across different states, we cherish every moment we get to spend together as a family. When we're not busy coordinating cross-country FaceTime sessions or planning epic family reunions, Anne and I love to indulge in our shared passions. From exploring new destinations to hosting legendary backyard barbecues, we're always up for some adventure. Individually, we have our own hobbies to keep us entertained – whether it's perfecting our golf swing, nurturing our green thumbs in the garden, or casting a line in hopes of catching the big one. You might even spot us taking leisurely strolls, cruising on the water, or diving into any other fun activity that strikes our fancy. In a nutshell, our family motto is: work hard, play harder, and laugh often. And with our diverse range of interests, there's never a dull moment in the Schmidt household!
