Proudest/greatest achievement outside of the professional realm?
My greatest achievement outside of the professional realm is my 3 children. Like most people with young children, they drive us crazy but keep us active and make us laugh.
What are you usually doing on the weekend or during time off?
I am usually taking the kids to their weekend activities or building something for them to play with or play “in”. Last year with a little help from my 4 year-old we built an indoor playhouse.
Best advice anyone ever gave you?
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
What about you would surprise us?
I really wanted to be a pilot, but when I began flying lessons I was a “poor” resident and could not afford it.
