My favorite adventure in life was…. any moment within my 12 years in the Marines.
What is the most local government thing you have done on vacation? Absolutely nothing…when I am out of city hall I am out of city hall.
The most important decision that I’ve made in life was… easy….joining the military.
If I was booking the guests for the GovLove podcast, I would book… someone from the Bloomberg innovation lab to discuss their initiatives.
If I couldn’t work in my current position, I would… farming my (fictitious) 1000 acres of new England farm land.
The book on your bookshelf that you intend to read but haven’t is… I don’t read…but if I did probably Plato’s Republic…which I have started about 30 times since grad school
Blue or black ink? Black.
What is your recent personal and professional accomplishment? Personal….finding my abs again. Professional….TBD
I’ll know that I made the right choice to attend #ELGL18 if… I walk away with some new friends and a little broader base of knowledge
If I was writing the questions for the feature, I would have asked… Karaoke yes or no.
