About:

My idea of a perfect day is... blue sky, fair winds, following seas.

I am happiest when... I’m on a trip with my family.

My favorite Bible character is... Jacob….wrestled with God and lived to tell about it, although I don’t think he did.

My favorite city outside of Atlanta is... San Francisco…met Elaine there.

The best advice I could give a 20 year old is... “Learn all the tricks you can while you’re still young.”

My childhood ambition was... to design/create things.

One thing about myself that would really surprise people is... I’m really very sentimental…you know, get teary-eyed at schmaltzy stuff in movies.

My favorite movie is... School of Rock

I have traveled to... every continent but Antarctica (when it gets warm enough, I’ll go there too.)

My favorite snack food is... smoked, lightly salted almonds.

If I had a different job, I would... not be as happy.
