What is your favorite hobby or thing to do with your personal time?

I enjoy baking a variety of things in my spare time – it is a stress reliever and my family enjoys eating all the treats! On warm sunny days, my family enjoys taking the top off our Jeep and going for a cruise.

What is something about you that would surprise people that already know you?

Most people know that I am a clean freak, but to some people’s surprise – I really enjoy getting my hands dirty. Gardening, mowing, mulching, cleaning out the shed, painting and shoveling the 10 feet of snow this state gives us each winter. I am up for the challenge!

If you could have dinner with somebody famous, living or dead, who would it be and why?

My grandpa was almost famous and he would be my choice every time. He had the opportunity to play for the Detroit Tigers, but due to a miscommunication between my grandpa and the team – he already committed to the US Coast Guard. He had a heart of gold and was always there for me no matter what! I miss him dearly.

How do you define “exceptional”?

Exceptional means better than one anticipated. Going above and beyond is important to me and shows one’s true character. Being on an exceptional team is rewarding and fulfilling.
