What is your favorite family tradition?Going to pick out a live Christmas tree with my family, bringing it home, and decorating it. There is nothing like a live Christmas tree.
If you really know me, you'd know...I absolutely love coffee, anywhere from roasting green coffee to brewing up my freshly roasted beans.
What are you most passionate about personally? Professionally?Personally, conserving nature, whether it be our national parks, wildlife, or through climate change, and my Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Professionally – quality workmanship in everything my name is attached to.
Do you have any background with the military?I worked for NAVFAC as a civilian electrical designer, completing Requests for Proposals on projects located at naval installations in the Southeast. I am also a Navy brat, as my dad was a naval oceanographer, meteorologist, and hydrographer for 21 years.
