Number of years on the PODS team?
Since March 2010
Where were you born?
Minnesota
What are your hobbies?
Golf, hiking, basketball, whatever my kids want to do. Trying to take up fly fishing – we'll see if it sticks.
What are the top 5 songs in your iPod?
Currently, usually listening to Wilco or Kings of Leon.
Or, if I am driving with my daughter, she will commandeer the radio – Brandi Carlisle and Gwen Stefani are current favorites.
What was your favorite comic book hero / character? Loved Encyclopedia Brown books.
What would you find in your refrigerator right now? Nothing too interesting. Lots of baby food. Last night’s leftovers. Something for the grill.
If you were a car what kind would you be?
A pickup truck. Always doing work around the house.
What was the last book you read?
Just finished Blood & Thunder by Hampton Sides. It’s a fascinating book about the life of Kit Carson and the American West.
Who do you admire? (and why?)
My wife – she is such a great mom to our kids.
My dad – he grew up dirt poor, youngest of 11 kids and made a great life for himself and our family.
If you could meet anybody who would it be?
Can it be someone dead or alive? Winston Churchill. A bit of a World War II buff. Can you imagine the things he went through and the decisions he had to make?
If you could travel anywhere, where would you go? A friend just returned from a motorcycle trip through Southern Argentina and Chile. Photos were unbelievable.
