Fun fact: I live on a sheep ranch and have actually helped stitch up a wounded sheep

Favorite spot on a Saturday night: Any activities with my grandkids, nieces and nephews

Favorite movie: The Fifth Element – pretty much any corny sci-fi or action flick where it’s good vs. evil

Music of choice: I’m a child of the 70s and 80s so I grew up with (and still love) classic rock and pop

Favorite place to eat: Kalama’s got a number of favorite dining spots and when I head south, I like La Bottega in Vancouver.
