Q&A

What technological advancement can you not live without?

I cannot live without my smartphone. The ability to communicate by voice or text and stay on top of email while on the go is great, but I also rely on having an app to do just about everything I need.

If you had a super power what would it be?

If I had a super power, it would be flight. Laser eyes would be pretty cool too, but I don’t think they’d be practical in my daily life like flying over traffic jams.

Who would you most like to meet?

I would most like to meet Benjamin Franklin or Leonardo Da Vinci. The breadth of their capabilities and intelligence are amazing.

Downtime: how do you relax?

I like to play with my kids. Focusing on what is important to them helps me unwind.
