If your life were a movie, which songs would be on the soundtrack?

“Eye of the Tiger” (thanks to my high school wrestling days), Greensky Bluegrass’s “The Four,” Seth Bernard’s “Where the Days Went,” and Lake Street Dive’s “Seventeen”

How many unread emails or texts currently fill your inbox?

Texts, I got locked down to 0 … 30 unread emails and 76 drafts. (Yowza!)

How many pillows do you sleep with?

Four. Two for me, two for my baby. My literal baby, as in child, doesn’t use pillows.

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Three. Two pair of Yore Unlimited custom shoes and one pair of running shoes.

Which mountains are your favorite — Smoky, Blue Ridge, Rocky, Appalachian, or Catskill?

Appalachian, because I’m currently driving through them. But if I’m being honest, probably the Rockies.

If you were a liquor, what would you be?

Bulleit Rye.

Fate or free will?

Free will (though, that plus desire and hard work = Fate).

Sweet or sour?

Sour.

Sunrise or sunset?

Sunrise. Though it’s been awhile since I last witnessed one.
