Q: Tell us about yourself. What should people know about you that they can’t gather from your bio?
A: My life’s work has given me a unique opportunity to travel extensively around the United States. I have had the opportunity to travel to and work in 49 out of the 50 states and the 5 populated territories in the United States. During these travels, I’ve been able to gain additional insight and understanding of the rural and urban communities and their cultures that comprise the United States.
A personal goal for 2022 – fishing in Alaska!!!
