Most adventurous experience? My most adventurous experience was heliskiing on a Canadian glacier with four of my buddies. It was spectacular views, pristine conditions and pretty intense at times.
Dream car? My dream car is a 1967 Corvette Coup with split rear window. When I was a kid my friend and I used to build model Corvette cars and paint them in his basement. This was my favorite model and owning the real thing would take me right back to my childhood.
Favorite Book? I have a guilty pleasure of picking up Clive Cussler books on the Oregon series every time I’m in the airport. The story line is always the same with this elite team of recurring characters saving the world and beating the bad guys. It allows me to get in my own world, relax and not think about anything else while traveling.
Favorite Movie? I have to say Top Gun only because I watched it a ridiculous amount of times. In college it was always on in our fraternity house and there would be a group of guys watching. If you sat down with the group you didn’t get up till it was over.
