Cameron
Rabe has journeyed from Virginia to California to
New Jersey to (finally!) the Hudson Valley of New York. He
misses sweet Southern accents, but a tour of East Coast cohousing
communities convinced him that the rolling hills and friendly
folks of Ulster County are home. Cameron works as a CPA, and
especially enjoys advising non-profits to help keep them up
and running. For fun, he loves to read, travel, fish, hike
and play outdoors, do the NY Times crossword, play cello and
read some more. He met his wife, Ilyse, on a cross-country
walk from LA to NY. His goal is to someday have a coffee shop
called the “Bean Counter”. He and Ilyse are about
to become parents. |
