At-Large

1. What inspires you to serve as a member of the Manhattan Parks & Recreation Foundation Board?
   Parks & Rec and Sports have had a huge impact in my life. From my first little league Parks & Rec soccer game where I met my first friends to my college football career. I feel it is only fitting for me to give back to the sports community and the community of Manhattan and one of the best ways is to serve on this Committee.
2. Which Parks & Recreation program or activity do you enjoy the most?
   There isn’t one specific activity that I like the most but I enjoy going to all events. We have friends in the community whose children are involved in multiple activities and we enjoy going and supporting them.
3. What's your go-to activity to promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle for both you and your family?
   We really enjoy taking walks around the parks! Whether it is a casual stroll on a nice day or just a way to get out of the office or house we enjoy walking around the parks.
4. Can you share a memorable experience you or your family have had being involved in Manhattan Parks & Recreation activities?
   The first year of the Boat Regatta was a blast! With all the setting up and advertising we weren’t sure who many people would sign up and be there but we had a great turn out and everyone had fun! Looking forward to the coming years of it.
