Just for fun
What do you like most about your role? I enjoy managing projects that directly improve the utility and the city. There’s a huge need for robust and resilient electrical infrastructure in our world now and being able to witness those efforts firsthand is cool to see.
What is your favorite movie genre and/or all-time favorite movie? It’s hard to pick just one movie but can easily narrow down the genre to sci-fi/action. A bonus if there’s some comedy in there.
What’s a place you’ve always wanted to visit, but haven’t had the chance to yet? Italy. I want to thank them for inventing pizza.
What’s your favorite way to spend a rainy day? There’s a good chance a rainy day would happen during football season, so it has to be watching football, especially the Seahawks.
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what band or music would you want on replay? The kind that’s loud enough to be heard by a passing boat so I could get off the island.
