Who is the best teacher you have had? Please list the name and tell a brief story why.

The best teacher I have ever had would be my dad. He stayed up late with me countless times trying to help me get math homework done. He also taught by example whether it came to fitness, perseverance, patience, and humility. He's the hardest worker I know and probably the most steadfast person I know.

Which event in the past, present or future would like to witness in person?

I would love to celebrate with my kids at their weddings and embarrass them on the dance floor.

What's your favorite quotation? Please credit the author.

"Everything of value has this rhythm to it - pain first, payoff later." - Henry Cloud

What do you miss about childhood?

We lived in a small town in Tennessee outside of Chattanooga, that had an Olympic size pool and my brother and I would spend days there. I miss being able to just play outside with no worries except if you had enough quarters for nachos.

When you were young, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I wanted to be a veterinarian.

What is on the top of your "bucket list"?

Go to a Garth Brooks concert with my sister.

What do you like best about your job?

The kindness and support of my fellow co-workers. Also seeing David's zoom backgrounds for our weekly meetings is a highlight.

What is something interesting / unusual that you want us to know about you?

My right eye is half blue and half green. I love improv and standup comedy and get teased for being an old soul.

Have you ever bought anything from a TV infomercial or QVC/HSN? If so, what?

Not yet.

In which activity would you like a lesson from an expert?

How to race a car on a track, or how to ride a motorcycle.
