If you had not chosen your current profession, what profession would you choose and why?
If I hadn’t chosen to be a CPA, I would have enjoyed being a veterinarian. Our family loves animals, especially dogs, and I would enjoy helping the animals get the care and support they deserve.
What was a recent (or favorite) vacation you took?
We took our kids to Disney for the first time recently. At the time they were 7 and 8, which was a perfect age for them to experience Disney. Our go-to family trip is Sacandaga Lake in the Adirondacks.
What do you do when you want to relax?
When I want to relax, I enjoy going up to the Adirondacks, even if it’s for a long weekend. Disconnecting from technology, going on hikes, and enjoying nature helps me to refocus and refresh.
Favorite book (or movie, band or pop culture item, etc.):
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is my favorite band. The Tom Petty radio channel is constantly on in my car and has helped turn my kids into fans as well.
