Where are you from?
That's not an easy question to answer ... I went to high school in Klamath Falls, Oregon but I grew up as a Californian. Tacoma's now been home longer than anywhere else!
Do you have a favorite place in Tacoma?
The Theater district downtown. There's so many great places to go, whether to eat, drink, or spend time with family.
Name a class at Puget Sound you are interested in, but haven't taken.
Science and Economics of Climate Change. I think this is such a fascinating and important topic to be engaging with.
What is a book that has been influential for you?
Original Louis Maggio System for Brass, by Carlton MacBeth.
