High school group: I tried my best to be friends with everyone, but my closest friends were people who enjoyed the outdoors. Growing up in western North Carolina, we were close to great hikes, whitewater streams and ski slopes. We would go skiing after school whenever conditions were good.
Karaoke night song: “Don’t Stop Believing.” My girls just used to get a kick out of me singing falsetto to try to match Steve Perry’s voice.
One meal to eat forever: Burritos, as long as I can mix up the fillings from time to time.
