SPH Dean Enjoys Evening Adventures

There’s nothing quite like being on the water. Many of us reserve that kind of recreational activity for weekends, not SPH Dean Boris Lushniak. He is out to soak up the fading sunlight even on a random weekday evening.

Both Boris, and his wife Trish, love the outdoors. They especially enjoy kayaking because it combines exercise with the serenity of the water and nature. Spending time together as a couple is an additional benefit, making it a perfect trifecta for physical, mental and social well-being.
