Kelsey enjoys being very active. She is an avid Crossfitter and occasionally participates in local competitions. She has run in a Ragnar Relay, a 200-mile relay-style race with a team of 12 individuals. Kelsey loves dogs and has two rescues, Mesa (a pit bull) and Vida (a mutt). Most weekends Kelsey and her husband bring Mesa and Vida to the dog park or on a hike. Kelsey loves being outdoors at their cabin in the Adirondacks in the summer or skiing in the winter.
