What did you want to be when you grew up?

It is funny to admit that when I was growing up, I wanted to be a farmer. Obviously, as a kid my mind changed a lot, but I was always drawn to jobs where I would have to work hard. I think that mentality shows in my work ethic today.

Do you volunteer or are you involved with any organizations outside of ERA?

I have always been very passionate about the Special Olympics. The athletes have such a positive attitude it is humbling to watch them overcome all the barriers life throws at them. It is a special feeling to put a smile on their faces! In addition, I grew up raising money for Relay for Life, as my mom overcame cancer at a young age. I also helped execute a golf tournament fundraiser with my family for 15 years to raise money for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), which is a brittle bone disorder.

What hobbies do you have?

Reading, outdoor activities (golf, kayaking, hiking, swimming, jet skiing, snowmobiling, downhill skiing, dog walking/sitting), attending sporting events (mostly hockey and baseball, but now basketball as well), concerts, performing arts (plays or musicals in the city), museums, movies, cooking new recipes, crafts (on occasion).
