Trisha's words to live by:
“Should you fail to pilot your own ship, don't be surprised at what inappropriate port you find yourself docked.” Trisha is a voracious reader and found this quote in Tom Robbins’ Jitterbug Perfume. It has lurked in her mind ever since—for nearly 30 years. She has not always heeded the advice!
When not working, Trisha and her partner Mark are avid mountain bikers and go year-round thanks to fat bikes! Together they have three kids, two grown and making their way in the world, and a third still at home, just entering her teens. They all like to vacation together in Maine, as often as they can.
