Kerri enjoys walking and training her two Border Collies (also very active!), cycling, swimming, travelling to explore Canada and other countries, cruising, and taking in a good movie. In her student years, Kerri competed for the Ontario Weightlifting Team and achieved a high level as a Junior Canadian Weightlifter in her weight class in 1991. Her father raises beef cattle and Texas Longhorns and she enjoys helping him out on the farm.
