Breakfast or dinner? Describe your ideal meal.

I’m easy to please: Pizza and beer are an ideal pairing in my world!

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? Why?

Well, if I’m being honest I really thought I would end up at Hogwarts until I hit 5th grade … so, from then on, I decided that being a writer was the next best thing. I loved books and writing; they were always my safe place.

I loved the feeling of getting lost in a book or a paper I was working on. Writing in school was never a chore—it was my escape. So once I learned that becoming a writer was a realistic career, I was hooked.

What has been your favorite MSPC project and why?

Launching TechChannel in 2021 is by far the MSPC project I’m most proud of. It was a difficult endeavor but it showed our team’s ability to pivot during unexpected times and innovate where and when it mattered most.

Recommend a book, movie, album, etc.—a favorite or something you’ve consumed recently.

I would highly recommend The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, both on Disney+. I won’t recommend a book right now, as most of the books I’ve read recently relate to Frankenstein, and are in Spanish … read on to find out why.

What skill, hobby, experience, etc., do you have that would surprise people?

2. I regularly do strongman workouts and have been training in the sport for about a year and a half now (if you’re wondering if “strongman” workouts include lifting boulders, metal logs, sandbags and other large metal contraptions, you’re correct). My brother, who is also my trainer, is a professional strongman and holds several titles across the Midwest. Eventually I hope to start competing more, but for now, I just enjoy the feeling of empowerment I get from training. For reference, here’s a photograph of me lifting a 150-pound keg:
