Tell us about your hobby.
I haven’t started it yet, but I would like to learn another language. The world has so many different cultures and I believe learning another language would help experience another culture in a more meaningful way.
What is your chosen discipline? Why do you love it?
Aviation Planning. My passion for aviation started at a very young age. My uncle was the commissioner of aviation at a commercial service airport in upstate New York. He was very influential in my childhood and career. I was fortunate enough to work with him for a brief time as my first job out of college.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I plan to visit Ireland in the near future. My ancestors apparently had this cool castle on an island in Lough Key sometime around the 10th century, so I need to see it.
If you could snap your fingers and become an expert in something, what would it be?
A better golfer. I’ve learned that nearly everyone is a bad golfer regardless of what they say. It’s not a game you can ever be good at, rather it’s a game to enjoy.
