What’s your current favorite song? I love music; it’s hard for me to pick just one song. If we were going to get a dance party started at home in the kitchen – it might be Simple by Florida Georgia Line or Geronimo by Sheppard. But then if I want to get pumped up for a game of basketball, it might be Thunderstruck by AC/ DC, or I’m Shipping up to Boston by Dropkick Murphys.

What’s your favorite food? I am a huge fan of food! Pizza to BBQ to Fish tacos to chips and salsa.

What are your interests/hobbies? I love hanging out with my family – playing board games, dancing, playing kickball, going on bike rides, and watching movies. I also love to play music, take photos, go golfing and fishing.

What’s your dream vacation destination? My dream vacation would be to rent a house for a couple of weeks with my family, in South Florida – gulf side. Where we would take in some sand and surf, maybe catch some spring training baseball, a few rounds of golf, otherwise, keep our toes in the sand.

What’s your favorite season and why? As a kid I loved summer, what’s not to love? Hot weather, no school, my birthday, spending time outside, and fireworks. But now, my favorite season is autumn. Other than October is the best month for sports – MLB is in the playoffs, NBA and NHL seasons start, and NFL is full swing. But I like October for the things I can do with my family: hiking through Maplewood State Park, campfires, apple crisp, brilliant colors, Halloween, sweatshirts, crunchy leaves, new episodes of my favorite shows, and pumpkin carving!

If you won the lottery, what is the first purchase you would make? The first thing that I would purchase is something I currently own…. well… in a few decades - I would pay off my mortgage. Then maybe a new set of golf clubs for the family then a Traeger grill.

If you could travel back in time, what time period would you go and why? A red-letter day in the history of science - November 5, 1955
