My best vacation ever was a trip to the Rocky Mountains in Denver, Colorado.

Some of my favorite products are Leopard Forest coffee, Bridgewater candels, Apple I-phone.

The best thing about my job is meeting new people, space planning and having an opportunity to creat fun design presentations.

The best advise I ever got was don't worry about the future because today has enough worry of its own.

If I were an animal I would be a penquin.

One of my favorite quotes is "Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes".

Most people don't know this but my ancestors were part of the original colony that traveled on the Mayflower.
