What are your favorite things about Cleveland/NE Ohio?
The food and craft beer scene in the Cleveland area is one of the best in the country. Cleveland has been especially fun with the Cavs winning the NBA Championship and the Indians taking the Cubs to Game 7 of the World Series. It has been a good time to be from Cleveland.

Would you rather...

Eat a worm or go bungee-jumping?

Be a cat or a dog?
Dog, I am a dog person.

Only travel by mule or unicycle?

Probably the ability to see into the future. I think I could have fun in Las Vegas with it.

Best and worst summer job?
Best summer job was a roofer. I loved being outside, getting a workout, and being paid cash. As a 16 year old, it was great.

Worst summer job was a side job painting a house. I do not like painting at all.

Either one of my grandfathers. I never met either of them.

The egg, that is where chickens come from.
