01
If you could choose one theme song to play whenever you entered a room, what would it be?
Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics
02
How did you end up in your industry?
By accident. I got into tech because I picked a job that I thought would be easy when I joined the Air Force. It just happened to be Computer, Networking, Cryptographic, and Switching Systems. I had the ability to learn everything from networking to programming and loved it.
03
Who would you want to play you in a movie?
Samuel L. Jackson. If he’s not available, Ving Rhames lol
04
Favorite activity to pass time when you're not working?
Running the trails of the Wissahickon
05
Best kept secret of your city?
Philadelphia’s parks and trails system is amazing. Unfortunately, many people in the city don’t understand how expansive it is and all it has to offer. I’ve seen more people on the trails since the pandemic and I hope that trend continues.
