What is your favorite Cove and Hill to travel to? 
My favorite Cove is "The Hole" on Lake Carnegie in Princeton, New Jersey where I took many much-needed rests during rowing practice and my favorite Hill is Mount Pisgah, a sand dune overlooking Lake Michigan in Holland, Michigan where I spent many summers with my family.
What is the best vacation you’ve ever taken? 
The best vacation I've ever taken was when my grandfather, brother, cousin, and I rode two tandem bicycles 600 miles along the Erie Canal and Hudson River from Niagara Falls to Battery Park, NYC.
What is your most embarrassing moment in the office? 
The most embarrassing moment I've ever had at work was when I walked face first into the glass door of my boss' office in front of my entire team.
