| EDUCATION | Brigham Young University (BS), Georgia State University (MBA, MHA) |
| SOMETHING SURPRISING | I test as a strong introvert. It’s not that I can’t enjoy a crowd or that I avoid the podium — all of that comes with the job — but it’s not what energizes me. I always prefer a long run on one of the many trails in our beautiful area. That’s where I gain my mental strength. |
| WORRIES ABOUT | The growing segmentation in our society and the increasing levels of intolerance between groups |
| READING | Desert Oracle, by Ken Layne; Sweet Thursday by John Steinbeck (again) |
