Why did you join SJWC?
I joined to meet new people and to become more involved in my community.

What’s the most amazing thing about you that most people wouldn’t have guessed?
I don’t know about “amazing”, but people would probably not peg me for a heavy metal fan or guess that I love nothing better than a really loud concert. I don’t think I really look the part.

My family; without them, it would just be a house.

Your strongest trait?
I would say being forthright and loyal, as well as my sense of humor.
