What was your first car and what do you love or hate about it?

My first car was a Volvo 265GL station wagon. I loved that I could carry a ton of friends and the car was indestructible. I hated the sub-200 horsepower engine, but I am sure the lack of power is probably what kept me alive.

What’s your dream car?

There’s a long list of cars I would love to own. A while back I got to spend a weekend with a highly-modified Noble M400 wide-body. It weighed about 2000 lbs and had over 600 horsepower. That was the quickest thing I have ever driven and would be pretty high on the list.

What one accomplishment are you most proud of?

In high school, I went through a magnet program called Learning Community. The teacher, Gary, taught me a vast amount about critical thought, follow-through, and personal responsibility.

What do you like to do when you’re not at work?

I spent some of my youth as a professional musician, and I still play for fun. When time permits, I enjoy Autocross.

What kind of music do you like to listen to?

There is a variety. My playlist is pretty diverse; it bounces from Pantera to Dave Brubeck to Phish to James Brown. Recently, I have been getting into a New Orleans musician named Kermit Ruffins.

Do you have a favorite quote? If so, what is it?

What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

A few years ago I spent a couple of weeks driving in Croatia, and I genuinely love the place. It is Yosemite on a Mediterranean Beach with castles.
