1. If you were a cartoon character who would you be and why?

If I were a cartoon character, I would be Rocky J Squirrel because we are both small-town Minnesotans who like to problem solve.

2. What's a unique, interesting or goofy hobby that you have?

I play the viola de gamba, a stringed instrument from the 1400 that is the precursor to the violin and cello.

3. How are you culturally diverse?

Because, unlike most of the people here, I grew up in the middle of the country going to 4-H and raising chickens on my back porch.
