1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
I smile at life’s many special moment’s. Each morning after being abruptly woken by the annoying (wink wink) chirping from my bird named Tiara, I smile. He is my little rescue sparrow that I saved as a fledgling over 10 years ago! It was amazing he survived. He was unable to fly or feed himself. I smile watching him enjoy his daily bath and sit on my shoulder to eat his favorite food… popcorn!

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
Jon and I love our weekly date night. Lately it’s dinner at our favorite sushi bar on Friday evenings. We sit and smile and flirt and have wonderful conversations planning our next flying adventure. People who don’t know us are surprised to find out we are even married let alone married for 23 years! We enjoy going to a movie or just a wonderful romantic walk in the park at sunset and yes, we hold hands!

3.What do you love to cook and why?
This is a tough question because I am always on the go. My husband Jon says I am just not content unless I am doing something or have some mission or goal… Yes, I admit he is right. So for me, I relax and rejuvenate on Sunday afternoons when my family gets together to visit and have dinner at Oma and grandpa’s house. It has turned into our family tradition that I cherish and love.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
My personal style is simple elegance. On most occasions you will find me with my hair in a simple ponytail and wearing either a business suit or smart casual to work. The exception is when I am working as a mechanic on an airplane or flying an airplane, then it’s jeans and a t-shirt and hair in a ponytail of course!
