- If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
I would live in Lillehammer Norway. I have spent four weeks there in the past year and love everything about it.
- What could someone find you doing on a Saturday?
Most Saturdays you can find me working in my yard, driving my son to one event or another, or playing in the park with my dogs.
- If you could time travel, would you go to the past or the future? Any specific time?
I would go to the year 2040 so I could meet my son all grown up and see that all of his dreams came true.
- Do you have any pets? What are they and their names?
I have two dogs. One is a Boxer/Mastiff mix named Bambam and the other is a Boxer named Storm.
- What is the best concert you have ever been to?
Being from the hairband era, I would have to say Motley Crue with Warrant as part of the Dr. Feelgood Tour was probably the best concert I can remember. However, Skid Row at a tiny venue was also awesome!
- What’s the last picture you took on your phone?
My son playing his trombone at a jazz concert.
- What would you do if you won the lottery?
I like to think that my life would not change all that much. I would travel more and have houses in many different countries. I would also start a foundation for sick kids and donate more to the National Blood Clot Alliance.
- If you could have a superpower, what would it be and why?
I would have speed like the Flash so I could accomplish more in a day.
- What’s the most daring thing you’ve ever done?
The most daring thing I have ever done is give a presentation in front of 150 students and teachers. Skydiving and parasailing do not compare to the fear I felt walking on the stage for that presentation.
- What sound do you love?
I love the sound of my son giggling. He is into the teen years and I do not hear him giggle enough anymore!
