You have the weekend off, and no work needs to be done. What are you doing?
Road trip!
Where was your favorite place you have ever visited? Where do you want to go next?
Cabo San Lucas is one of my favorite places. I’ve been to a good bit of the US, Germany, and France. Japan is definitely on my list.
Favorite movie? Why?
I love Sci-Fi so pretty much anything with “Star” in the name is going to be fine with me. Regardless of genre, anything with well-developed characters, from The Shawshank Redemption to Monster’s Inc. will keep me in my seat.
What kind of music is your favorite? Do you have a favorite artist?
Any flavor of rock from classic to alternative and everything in-between. One favorite? No way!
Favorite food and favorite restaurant? Why?
This is another question that’s hard to pick just one however I’m fond of Pizzeria Bianco (or any of the Bianco restaurants) Chelsea’s Kitchen, Noble Eatery, Sushi Vibe, and Steak 44. I like a wide variety of cuisines.
Where is your favorite place to grab a cocktail?
Hula’s Modern Tiki
If you were to take another MEP selectee on a date, where would you take them and why?
It would depend upon the person but no matter where, it would have to be a place the conversation can flow, and we could spend time getting to know one another.
