Favorite part of job? Connecting with people and working with them to move their thoughts and ideas into a finished product.

Who is your living hero? My great-uncle Emilio. He enjoys life to the maximum and relishes the journey as much as the end result. Also, I witnessed him being told he was the "sexiest man alive" when he was 80 years old. That was legendary!
