Her focus throughout has always been the family first. She has volunteered extensively in community programs including schools, kids’ sports and Boy Scouts, believing that it is important to make a positive contribution to the community. Her focus on the importance of family continues, but Tara will always love getting out in the mountains and deserts and enjoying the wonder of the outdoors, whether she and Greg are hiking, camping, cycling or cross-country skiing.
