Favorite Thing About Work:

Favorite Memory as a Student:
How can I simply choose one memory as a favorite? I loved spending time coding in my dorm room along with my roomie, Tony Dissmore, and cracking geeky jokes across the room as we went...
When out and about, my best memories are always related to Concert Choir - practicing, touring, enjoying my Concert Choir family - I love those people as family, and always will.
