Doug Hall                                                    

I am a Director at the Economic Policy Institute, (www.epi.org) in Washington, D.C.

I spend as much time as possible with my children, Nicholas and Rachel. While we enjoy lots of activities together, including cycling, tennis and swimming, mostly we just enjoy relaxing and enjoying each other's company together.
My hobbies/interests are: cycling (duh! ;)), politics, photography, reading, making goooood bread. I live in Manchester, CT.

Why is Doug participating?

I feel privileged to be able to participate in the Brake the Cycle of Poverty ride with such an amazing group of individuals who have coalesced to form what I think of as our "BTC Family. "Together we amuse each other, inspire each other, support each other, and challenge each other to be the best we can be:physically with our cycling mission;spiritually as wedo this important piece of "God's work" together; and personally as we grow through this collective experience. The fact that this effort reinforces my professional work, addressing poverty in Connecticut is also very important to me. AND, we get to RIDE together! (the icing on the BTC cake).
