Do you consider yourself religious or spiritual?

At the end of the day regardless of what you believe, ultimately the goal is to treat one another compassionately.

If you had to live on an RV or sailboat for the rest of your life, which would it be?

RV definitely, I love road trips so I wouldn’t mind traveling around and exploring!

Favorite season and why?

I absolutely love the summer season. I enjoy doing as much as I can outdoors when the sun is shining. I have many fond memories of road trips, BBQs, swimming, and going to the movies during the summer

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you look at the night sky?

Summer nights, get-togethers with friends and family, and camping! I look forward to sharing these experiences with a child someday.
