What’s your walk-up intro music? If I had my own theme music walking into a room it would probably be something from AC/ DC like “Back in Black” or “Thunderstruck.”

What brought you to the Yuba-sutter-colusa area? I grew up in Olivehurst and then we moved to Yuba City my sophomore year. I started working at CCOE 21 years ago and love it here.

What would you do with a million dollars? Work to double it and be debt free.
