  • Hobbies

    Maurice is an old fashioned professional, with a near obsessive interest in the field.  Often in the office outside of normal working hours, the team often jokes that his reading of technical material in multiple languages and five children occupy all of his free time.  The love of profession and family have offset all hobbies, with all those around him seeing that work and family make him a happy man.
