Do you have any pets? If so, what are their names and what kind are they?
We have one domestic shorthair cat who is a rescue - his name is Aspen. He is a lover and has a big personality. He is spoiled and so very loved. Best $20 ever spent.

What is one thing people might be surprised to learn about you?
Growing up, I always had a passion for outdoor adventures—dirt bikes, go-karts, snowmobiles, and ATVs. Pretty much anything with wheels and speed, I was riding it. As a kid, I dreamed of becoming a professional motocross rider. Spoiler alert: that didn't happen. However, I still have a love for recreational vehicles and hope to start my own collection soon!
