What was your first job growing up?
Neighborhood paperboy. I shared a paper route with my neighborhood friend and we delivered the papers once a week on our rollerblades.

If you were not an accountant, what would you be?
I would either be a day trader or work at a greenhouse.

What do you like to do in your free time?
Getting outside and enjoying some fresh air by hiking, fishing, gardening, and playing basketball.
