How did you get into the tanning industry?
I was recruited in 2001 by the ITA Board of Directors to open a Washington, DC office for the Association. Dan Humiston, Bill Pipp and Frank Muscatello led the search committee and I was the lucky applicant.
What is the best thing about your job?
Most of the people I have met over the past 15 years have been terrific; especially those in the industry with whom I work closely.
What do you do in your spare time?
I love to be outdoors. I enjoy cycling, hiking, camping and being on the water … swimming, scuba diving, power boats or kayaking.
What’s your “pet peeve?”
I am offended by constantly being reminded to be careful not to offend somebody or some group.
What’s your favorite food?
I’m from the South, so bourbon counts as a food group. I like everything the “food police” say is bad for you … especially anything fried.
What’s your favorite TV show?
Usually when I watch TV, it’s sports – college football and college basketball in particular. I do have to check on The Kelly File (Fox News Channel) every now and then.
What’s at the top of your “Bucket List?”
I want to take a sailing/diving trip to Fiji with my wife.
