Number of Years @ IDCS: 3

What is the most inspiring part of your job? 

Both the staff and the students here at IDCS, I take pride in ensuring that the students and staff have a clean, safe, and healthy environment to learn and teach in every day.

Family, Pets, Home:

No pets or kids, but I do have a motorcycle and a race car that require constant attention. Similar right?

Hobbies, Skills, Talents OR what do you like to do when you are not working? 

When the weather is nice (and even when it’s not) I enjoy being outdoors. When I am not hiking or cruising on my bike, I like practicing my skills at blacksmithing, stone and tile work, cooking, and carpentry.

If time travel and long distance space travel were possible and all fictional worlds were real.  What place and/or time would you visit and what would you do while you were there?   

If time travel were possible, I would travel to the late 1800s / early 1900’s. I think this was a fascinating point in human history where technology, engineering, and architecture evolved in incredible ways. While I was there I would want to travel to see and experience as much of the world as possible.

What is something you want to learn more about?   

History, I love learning about the wild series of events that lead up to the world being the way it is today. No matter how much I learn, there always seems to be more detail or context to uncover.

If you had to eat only one food for the rest of your life what would it be?  

Mozzarella sticks
