| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable experience was when my father would take me and my brothers on camping trips in the fall. |

| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire honesty, open mindedness, and intelligence. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | When I was a small child my father built a twenty foot slide for me and my siblings. One year when I was about four there was a terrible ice storm in my area, and the house, ground, trees and slide were covered in about an inch of solid ice. When my father wasn't looking I snuck off and climbed to the top of the slide. My father, after discovering me at the top of the frozen slide decided that it would be safer to have me slide down and catch me rather than attempt to crawl down the frozen steps. However, my father did not factor in how much faster I would be traveling on the ice-covered slide. I shot down the slide, flew between his legs and then continued to slide along the frozen ground for another twenty feet. When my father reached me I asked if I could go again. My father did not tell my mother about this particular incident until several years later. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If time and money were not a factor I would travel everywhere. My retirement goal is to buy a yacht and start a travel blog. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would hope to pass on my confidence, my acceptance of others, my easy-going lifestyle and my love of adventure. |
