How long have you worked at Dunwoody?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One year and 10 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How would you explain what you do for a living to a 5-year-old?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a hobby that you have largely abandoned, but you want to pick up again?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going to concerts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a tough lesson you learned while traveling?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave plenty of time between connecting flights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is one piece of advice you’ve gotten that you still think about?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The true test of character is not what you do when others are watching, but what you do when nobody is watching.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is something that, compared to when you were a kid, hits different as an adult?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost of owning a house. As a kid, I had no idea what was involved.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If money and time were no object, what would you spend more of your time doing?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traveling with my family and fishing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
