What do you find most rewarding about your job? Helping people who are in need.

What is your biggest challenge? Getting people to understand that no matter how bad off they think they are, they can still help those that are worse off.

Describe a perfect day: Hiking in the morning and biking in the afternoon; and a hot tub afterwards!

What three things would you want with you if you were stranded on a desert island? I'd have to have some music, and then I think I'd like to have a hammock and a large cooler.
