WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE?
It’s a tie: Harold and Maude (1971) and Born in Flames (1983).
DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?
I’m married to a veterinarian, so pets are inevitable. Currently, we have a miniature dachshund named Reginald Currywurst, a cat, Jaxson, five chickens, and a turtle.
WHAT MOTIVATES YOU TO WORK HARD?
Working with a good team is a pretty good motivation for me, as is the prospect of playing with my goofy kiddo afterward.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE VACATION SPOT?
Isle of Iona, Scotland. It’s a tiny island, about three miles long and a mile wide. There are rocky and sandy beaches, sheep, bog, ruins, and in the summer you can take a boat to Staffa to see puffins!
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?
I worked in the cafeteria of my high school.
