Hidden talent…hmm…I enjoy creating artwork using pastels.
Name something you could not live without.
My sons.
If you could take a trip anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why would you go there?
I would love to take another trip to Oregon. My dad was born in Canada but raised in Oregon. I think it’s the most beautiful state, from the coastline to the mountains and high plains…it has it all. Another trip I would love to take again is to Utah, Arizona, and Wyoming.
What is your motto?
We can’t change the past or predict the future; all we have is today.
