In his spare time, Lance practices Uechi Ryu karate and holes the rank of Sandan (3rd degree blackbelt). He also works on his lifelong art project, building an off-the-grid medieval stone castle in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Keene Castle originally started off as just a dream home to live in. But along the way it became much more than that.
