What would you do if you could choose another career: “This is what I have wanted to do since I was a kid, so that is tough to answer. Regardless, it would still be something in travel, whether an airline pilot, tour guide or something else that would allow me to see the world.”
Favorite Wisconsin destination: “Any airport in Wisconsin. Initially, it represents the excitement departing for a business meeting or vacation, but when returning, it means I get to see my wife and kids or we can sleep in our own beds after a fun family vacation.”
Definition of success: “Being a good husband, father and leader.”
Favorite movie: “’Home Alone.’ It was a favorite growing up and now we watch it as a family several times each holiday season.”
