Favorite restaurant? 

My grandmother's kitchen, there was no better cooking and atmosphere.

​

What is always in your refrigerator? 

Butter Pecan Ice Cream - it's always comforting to know I have a not so healthy fallback option. 

​

Guilty pleasure? 

I'm a bit of a Sci-Fi nut, but nothing really dark, more along the lines of the Stargate series.

​

Who would play you in the movie of your life?

I am hoping for Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, but I am expecting George Costanza.

​

Favorite Vacation?

My ideal vacation would be sitting on white sugar sand, overlooking an emerald green clear ocean with puffy white clouds drifting overhead, holding an ice-cold beer in my left hand, and a Tom Clancy book in my right.
