What do you do when you’re not selling your soul to Ripple:
You mean when I am sleeping? 😉 In all earnestness, I enjoy doing what I do for Ripple and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else. I enjoy spending time with my kids and family. They’re teaching me some gymnastic moves lately that they learn from their classes. Have not been successful so far! Also, enjoy playing board games with friends and families. Love playing cricket. Have also gotten lot more passionate about skiing lately. Enjoy hiking in Pacific Northwest area.
