Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Sheboygan Wisconsin, a block away from Lake Michigan. I love living in Wisconsin – there is so much natural beauty here, even when it’s cold and snowy!

Do you have any pets?

I have a Bernese Mountain Dog-poodle mix named Scout, and I am obsessed with her. We go on lots of adventures together.

Who’s your favorite band?

I grew up with a lifelong appreciation for The Beatles and have passed that along to my own children. A major life highlight was taking my dad and my then 6-year-old son to see Paul McCartney play at Lambeau Field a few years ago. 

If you could pick up a new skill in an instant, what would it be?

I’d love to be able to instantly play any song, on any musical instrument. I’ve played guitar for 20 years, and it takes a lot of dedication and practice. I am also currently learning the drums, which is going just ok. I’m no Dave Grohl.
