Q:  How long have you been with the company?
A:  July 7th would mark the beginning of my twelfth year with Hoss's
Q:  What is the most memorable moment of your career with Hoss's?
A:  Over the years there have been many memorable moments with Hoss's. One special moment was when I went to a "Hoss Wedding." There were probably at least 25 people at the wedding who worked at Hoss's including the bride and groom. At the beginning of the reception I sang "New York, New York" in their honor. Somewhere there is a videotape of the event but as of yet I still haven't been blackmailed.

Q:  What was the last book you read?
A:  The last book I read was "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" by J.K. Rowling.

Q:  What's your favorite movie?
A:  I love all kinds of movies! My favorite movies are "Armageddon," "Gettysburg," "Braveheart," "The Patriot," and of course"The Lord of the Rings Trilogy."

Q:  Favorite food?
A:  N/A
Q:  What's the funniest or most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you?
A:   The most embarrassing thing that ever happened to me was when my dad made a surprise visit to my dorm room after a business trip because he heard I was ill. What he didn't know was that I was better and was in the middle of throwing a surprise party for my brother, Jeff, who was visiting from Notre Dame. Well, it was a surprise all right!

Q:  What's your "pet peeve?"
A:   As a teacher, the biggest "peeve" I have is children not putting their name on their paper! Not speaking in a loud enough voice runs a close second.
Q:  What do you like to do outside of work?
A:   Outside of work, when I am not occupied with my children's activities or volunteer work, I like to spend time golfing, bowling, or reading.
Q:  Do you collect anything?
A:   I collect Dallas Cowboy cards and New York Met cards.
Q:  What was your first job?
A:  I had my first job when I was 14 with my twin brother. We were groundskeepers for the town Little League.
Q:  What was your first car?
A:   My first car was a Plymouth Duster. It had a slant 6 engine and ran forever.
Q:  Where is your hometown?
A:  I grew up in Middlesex, New Jersey, and moved to a small community outside Trenton when I got married. When things got too expensive in New Jersey, we relocated to Chambersburg, PA. The interesting thing is that the name of that small community outside of Trenton was called Chambersburg.

Q:  What is your favorite song?
A:  My favorite songs include anything by Bruce Springsteen. Personal favorites include "Born To Run," "Thunder Road," and his tribute album to 9-11 "The Rising."

Q:  Do you have any pets?
A:  Through no choice of mine, we have three cats.
Q:  What is your favorite childhood memory?
A:  During the summer months, about once a month my four brothers and sister would pile in the family station wagon and go to the "drive-in." We would cook up bags of popcorn and get to the "drive-in" early to play on the playground. We sometimes fell asleep during the second feature but we still had a ball!
