WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? A scientist.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FOOD? I love pasta.
FAVORITE THINGS TO DO: Walking my dog, going to the movies with Alana, playing music with friends, driving to camp.
FAVORITE SAYING: The faster a salmon swims upstream, the sooner he forgets why he was swimming so fast in the first place.
FAVORITE BUCK'S ROCK SHOP: I don’t like to play favorites, so I’ll answer this one only from an architectural perspective: I think the painting studio is one of the nicest buildings on camp.
LITTLE-KNOWN FACT: I once built a musical instrument out of an Arduino and a dozen bell peppers.
WEIRDEST PERSONAL TALENT: I can do a killer moose call.
