- The best way to spend a free afternoon in the Tri-Cities area is:
- Golfing, this area has many good courses that are usually public and not too expensive. If you don't golf, I would go with hiking in one of the many local/state parks around here. Plenty of good trails.
- What is the best course on campus? Why do you think so?
- The course currently being taught by the professor that might be reading this. The SAP courses taught at ETSU have to be my favorites. They present a real life understanding of computer systems and how they interact with the business world.

- Favorite outdoor activity:
- Hiking in the mountains or golf

- I can usually name any commonly played song after hearing only a few bars.

- The Last Lecture, inspired me to come back college and get a second degree in something I love to do.
