What’s your favorite thing about the place where you live?
I love that the mountains, desert, and ocean are only a few hours away.
What’s something on your desk, a nearby wall, or out the window that cheers you up during the day?
My daughter gave me a "best mom ever" plaque for my birthday that I keep on my desk.

What is your #1 recommendation in Portland?
I always love walking NE 28th because of how many amazing bars and restaurants seem to be on one street. My favorite place to stop on that block is Montelupo Italian market. Hands down the best pasta in the world.
What are the top three albums you’re taking to a deserted island?
"Madvillainy" - MF DOOM, "OK Computer" - Radiohead, "The Weatherman" - Gregory Alan Isakov

If you could see one movie again for the first time, which would you pick?
I would re-watch Air Force One with Harrison Ford or The Pianist with Adrian Brody.
What’s your favorite thing about the place where you live?
I like being able to drive to the coast to watch the sunset so easily from Portland.

Imagine you could teleport anywhere. Where would you go right now?
I would teleport to a superhabitable exoplanet, assuming I had a round-trip ticket. Anything less would be a waste. Who knows where? Maybe KOI-4878.01? Meeting whatever life forms exist on an alien planet more capable of supporting life than earth, more than a thousand light years from home would be quite a diversion, and would date my inner astronomy nerd.

My top three albums I'd take to a deserted island.
"Bad music for Bad people"- The Cramps, "The Presidents Of The United States Of America"- The Presidents Of The United States Of America, "The Chase Is Better Than The Catch"- Motörhead
My favorite holiday tradition.
Getting dressed up for Halloween.
