Tawn and her husband Phil share a love for adventure – whether it’s enjoying live music, swing dancing, pontooning on their local lake, or sailing the waters of Lake Michigan. While she hasn’t yet joined Phil’s crew for the famed Chicago-to-Mackinac Island race, she loves helping deliver the boat back to Racine, WI on the “Mac Back.” Travel is one of Tawn’s greatest passions, especially across Europe. After tying the knot in Rome in 2023, she and Phil have happily become “repeat offenders” when it comes to exploring Italy.
