Rory has spent the years updating his 1940's cottage style bungalow in the Lake Minnetonka area where he lives with his wife Naomi, and his sons Jack and Bodhi. To the amazement of friends and neighbors he personally suspended the first floor of his home and put in a new modern basement while maintaining the integrity of the aging home. He is an active member of his community and regularly attends city planning meetings to speaking out on issues that affect his neighborhood. Rory keeps busy in the winter by riding his snowmobile on local trails and extreme snowboarding in Summit County, Colorado, with his Father. During the summer months he loves to ride his motorcycle to its limits, then spend time on his family’s vintage wooden boat and cruise out to Big Island on Lake Minnetonka with friends.
