Q&A

  • Last meal would be?  Not sure what the whole meal would be, but it would have to include marinated pork tenderloin…cooked on the grill of course!
  • If you weren’t an engineer, you would be? Believe it or not, after high school I considered studying to become a doctor.
  • Favorite vacation destination?  For normal vacations it’s a toss-up between Smith Mountain Lake and Emerald Isle, NC.  For that special vacation, it would be hard to beat the time we spent in Ireland.
  • Music you’re currently listening to?  I listen to a really wide variety of music.  I’m currently listening to a lot of older, heavy guitar rock from my high school and college days, liberally mixed with bluegrass.
  • Words you live by?  “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men” – Colossians 3:23.  I’m also partial to something that Charlie Pike, one of our former partners, used to say a lot … “It is what it is”.  This quote has a lot of practical applications to our business!
