Q: What was your first car? What’s your dream car?
A: My first car was a Subaru, drove that thing until it died. Dream car would be a Rolls Royce. My son got a chance to take one to his senior prom so I got a chance to ride in one. They are amazing. The attention to detail and luxury are incredible. Although, on an athletic trainers' salary I’ll never be able to afford one. They cost more than my house.

Q: What was your favorite or most memorable vacation?
A: I’ve been lucky and had a lot but the trip to Costa Rica with the women’s soccer team was great. I’m terrified by heights but went ziplining because you have to in Costa Rica. I was scared but it was great. Jamaica was another great vacation. I was there for Thanksgiving and it was really cool.
Q: How do you relax?
A: Golf and hanging with my family. They golf also so a lot of the time it’s a combination of the two.
