Q: What’s your favorite part about your job and our company culture?
A: My favorite part of my job is that every day presents a new problem to solve, and no two days feel monotonous.

Q: What’s the best trip you’ve ever been on and why?

Q: Who’s someone you admire and why?
A: My first-year professor at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology, Tedd Williams. I admire his ability to balance a hectic schedule while achieving many of the things I hope to do one day (e.g., having a family, running a successful business, and having enough time to stay healthy and go to the gym).
