1. —IF MONEY AND TIME WASN'T AN ISSUE, WHAT ONE THING WOULD YOU BUILD AND WHY?I would build a pool in my backyard. Not just an ordinary pool but a black pool with silver flakes. That seems to be the new thing now a days. It would have a deep end and a diving board so that in my free time I could take a refreshing dip and do some diving board tricks into the pool.

3. —WHAT CAREER ACCOMPLISHMENT ARE YOU THE PROUDEST OF?To date, it would probably be the first project I worked on after college. It was a 100-million-dollar Neuroscience and orthopedic 7 story patient tower. The project was 6 months behind schedule when I started with only 6 months remaining on the schedule. My project team and I worked many overtime hours and completed 12 months’ worth of work in 6-month duration. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, you could feel the impact the project made on the community.
