What is your vision for Knoxville 10 years from now?

I would love to see Knoxville continue to grow but in a responsible manner. Keep our greenspaces, keep our mature trees in urban areas. Don't overdevelop to the point we lose our wonderful character. I love meeting the new people moving here from other parts of the country. Its an exciting time for Knoxville!

What is Knoxville's Best Kept Secret?

I dont want to give it out!

What would you do to strengthen Knoxville?

Create a new public transportation system to help connect our city for work and also for recreation.

What is your favorite Knoxville memory?

Watching Boomsday from Holston Gases on the river!

What is your favorite book or what book is currently on your nightstand?

Vanderbilt: The Rise and Fall of an American Dynasty by Anderson Cooper and Katherine Howe

What is the best advice you have received from a mentor, and who was that mentor?

Don't 'swing for the fence,' which usually means taking high risk. Go for singles and doubles, and count up the RBIs. If you have a chance to hit a home run, it's more likely a result of good timing than taking a high risk on a long shot. - Bill Baxter

What advice would you give to your 16 year old self?

Learn how to study now. You will use it your entire life.
