She and her husband formed a cover band with friends with some goals for 2024 (i.e. open mikes, hospitals, nursing homes). Watch for their band, "Fire in the Hole." She and her husband regularly play tennis for fun and in the United States Tennis Association (USTA) competitive leagues. They have been to Wimbledon in 2023 and plan to attend each Grand Slam tournament in the coming years. She and her husband enjoy reading to each other, hiking, cooking, birding, photography, disc golf, kayaking... They try to learn something new every year. Jessica is trying to become conversational in Greek. Wish her luck!
