What is your favorite "guilty pleasure" movie or TV show?
The Red Green Show. Or the Red Green Movie Duct Tape Forever. Both of them are terrible and cheesy, but for some reason I enjoy subjecting myself to terrible, out-dated, Canadian humor. I may seek counseling.

What song on your iPod would people be most surprised you have?
Da Turdy Point Buck by Bananas at Large. I married a Minnesotan. So that should make a LITTLE more sense…

What's your favorite word? What is your least favorite word?
Epic = Favorite. Succulent = Least favorite. My least favorite word requires a bit of explanation. In vocal diction, there are basically two kinds of consonants: voiced and unvoiced (unvoiced consonants are those like t, s, k, et cetera). I have found that words with three or more unvoiced consonants in them spark a trigger for absolute anger within my brain. So for example, the word “succulent” has the "s", hard "c" and "t". Three unvoiced consonants mean I despise this word.

What was your first job?
I was a seasonal worker for the Bothell Parks Department. The first day on the job I had such a massive allergic reaction, my eyes nearly swelled shut. Immediately after that I went to the doctor and got some really strong allergy meds. I worked there every summer while I was in college.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
An artist.

What's your favorite comfort food?
Miso Soup. Nothing is nicer at the end of a long day, especially in the 9 months of rainy season out here, than a hot bowl of Miso soup with a little nori and tofu.

Why do you enjoy working at Averetek?
They take me seriously and value my input and treat me with respect. Everyone collaborates together to create an awesome product.

If you could have one superpower what would it be?
Super speed. I wouldn’t need a car ever again. Would save a lot on gas.

What is your favorite game show?
The Price is Right. Are there really any other game shows worth talking about?

What person are you most inspired by?
Paulo Roversi. He doesn’t conform to the rules of fashion photography, the industry cannot change his vision - he creates masterpieces and he does it his own way.

What secret talent do you have?
All of my talents are very public. I have no other real skills or talents to speak of.

What's the worst gift you ever received?
One year at Christmas I received set of Snowbabies. I think I was in High School at the time. So, that wasn’t really too much fun for me.
