Dr. Gulden enjoys the great outdoors and is an avid award-winning photographer.  He plays the clarinet and saxophone and has done extensive genealogical research. 

Favorite quote:  “There is nothing in life so good as kindness and truth.”  Found on a small handwritten note amongst his grandfather’s papers.
