When he is not at school, Dominic loves traveling and exploring the outdoors with his family. He is also an avid rock climber, scuba diver, and loves soccer.
GHA Tradition: I love the Color Run at the start of the school year, where the whole school celebrates being back together!
Neighborhood Spot: Our family loves Bella Bella Beach on Fox Island. On a sunny day, there is nowhere else I’d rather be.
Outdoor Activity: Our family loves to kayak around the sound. We have two double kayaks and are getting more adventurous in our expeditions each time.
Place to Read: I love to read in the nooks of the big cedars on campus when there is some peace and quiet.
Childhood Memory: Hiking with my Dad in the hills of Scotland where I grew up.
