Share a Vacation Destination You’ve Enjoyed and Recommend.

Last summer my friends and I went to Serbia for Exit Fest, and it was AMAZING! It’s a huge electronic music festival that takes place in an ancient fortress. We danced our asses off for 4 days and lived like kings and queens while we did it. One of the coolest parts: the local hospitality. One of the biggest challenges: the language barrier. We overcame that several times by using the universal language: arm wrestling. Canada 3, Serbia 0.

What Would You Maybe Rather Be Doing for a Living?

I’d also love to design cool housing elements, like floaty tables for hot-tub dinner parties. I’d also like to spend my post-retirement years spending some hard-earned creative freedom.

What Can Be Done Right Now to Make the World a Better Place?

The world could really benefit from less judgement. Think about it. Every time you see a perp walk on the news. When you yell at someone for not using their indicators.

It’s difficult to know exactly why people do what they do and without the full picture, judgement is essentially ignorance that does nothing to improve either person’s outcome.

Share an Experience That Changed Your View on the World.

One day someone said to me, “Nothing is personal.” I thought a lot about that and realized she was right. Most things other people push at you are actually about their own short comings. Most of the time it has nothing to do with you.

Tell Us A Random Memory from Your Childhood.

What 3 Things Would You Take in a Backyard Bomb Shelter with You on Doomsday?

Assuming “doomsday” means some variety of solar flare or nuclear fallout, I’m going to assume that wifi is off the table. In that scenario, I’d take my fave stuffy George, my collection of Seth books, and lots of paper/writing tools.
