How long have you worked at Dunwoody? 

One year and 10 months. 

How would you explain what you do for a living to a 5-year-old? 

I get to tell people what a great place Dunwoody is to go to school and then I ask them questions to see if Dunwoody is the best school for them. 

What is a hobby that you have largely abandoned, but you want to pick up again? 

Going to concerts. 

What is a tough lesson you learned while traveling? 

Leave plenty of time between connecting flights. 

What is one piece of advice you’ve gotten that you still think about? 

The true test of character is not what you do when others are watching, but what you do when nobody is watching.     

What is something that, compared to when you were a kid, hits different as an adult? 

The cost of owning a house. As a kid, I had no idea what was involved.   

If money and time were no object, what would you spend more of your time doing? 

Traveling with my family and fishing.
