Fondest Childhood Memory: Playing school with my Aunt Sherry. We spent hours setting up our classroom on my grandma’s front porch and naming all our imaginary students.

Something most people don't know about me: I attended Faith Evangelical Free Church with my friend Sally Stoneking when I was in grade school. It was called Mound View Free Church at the time.

What I like to do on my day off: I look forward to those rare occasions when I can turn off my alarm before going to bed and sleep until I wake up. I enjoy catching reruns of The Waltons, Little House on the Prairie and Andy Griffith. I am probably the happiest when spending time with my family.
