Tell us about your family. In addition to my parents, I have a sister and brother-in-law, Brooke and Logan. And my nephew, who is my little sidekick, Shepherd.

What is your favorite decade and why? The 90s would probably be my favorite decade, as the country music was way better than it is today.
What is your favorite movie? My favorite movie is “Fried Green Tomatoes.” I highly recommend it if you have not seen it.
What is your favorite season? My favorite season is summer. There is nothing better than sitting on the beach when it is 95 degrees outside.
What is your dream vacation destination? My dream vacation destination is New Zealand. There are no other views in the world that compare.
What is your favorite place you've ever visited? My favorite place I have ever visited is the Eastern Shore peninsula in Virginia. Nothing beats a sunset cruise on the boat.

What was your dream job as a child? When I was a kid, my dream job was to become a cop. Throughout the years, I have reconsidered.
What is your favorite aspect of your job? My favorite aspect of my job is the constant interactions I get to have with our customers. It could be about the rain we are getting or a quick chat about the new piece of equipment they just bought, I enjoy them all.
What are your favorite weekend activities? My favorite activities on the weekends include going kayaking or a quick swim.
If you could have dinner with a famous person, dead or alive, who would it be and why? I would want to go back in time and have dinner with Henry Ford. It would be neat so ask him a few questions related to how he founded and ran the Ford Motor Company.
