A. Was home schooled for High School, although I went into the Caribou Adult Education Program and earned my GED. Enrolled at NMCC and then later transferred to UMPI where I graduated with my bachelors degree in Business Management Information Systems, although I could have easily earned about half dozen minors if I had stayed another semester.

A. I speak a little Spanish and when I say little I am mean just enough to get me into trouble, but not enough to get me out of it again.

A. Depends on my mood and the time of day, as I love to cook and I love food. I will literally eat just about anything. Chocolate covered insects aren’t too bad, something I picked up in the Boy Scouts, although I am really a huge sushi fan. I have actually driven to Bangor just to get sushi (was back when gas was well under $3), and I do highly recommend everyone try sushi at least once, raw Red Snapper is the best. I do though have Italian roots so am always a sucker for anything Italian.
