“ As an engineer , I love building things . In my off time , I gravitate toward activities that give me a sense of accomplishment of building things in real life . Whether it ’ s building pinewood derby cars with my kids , a pool deck for the house or splitting and stacking wood , I love to see the fruits of my labor .” – James Tavares

“ My family , especially my kids , are probably my biggest activity outside of work . My son plays several sports and my daughter is into dance and gymnastics . I love hiking and being in nature , so we hike the woods near home in Cumberland . I ’ m a bit of a history addict and love to look at places and understand their history . It ’ s always interesting to follow old stone walls and see where properties used to be that are now woods .” – Jon Domen
“ Family time is my most cherished and valued time . So anytime I can spend with my family is my favorite way to destress . We love to travel , have experiences like axe throwing , running races , playing cards or video games , watching movies , doing puzzles , etc . Football is big in our house so watching the Patriots and now the Buccaneers has been a great way to kick off the season .” – Kim Hayes
