If I could meet one person it would be: Goldilocks

One thing I still haven’t accomplished: Beating Dr. Fisher at a game of hoops.

Platform: To sell Bison-on-a-stick in the concession stands.

Proudest Moment: Watching our Men’s basketball team play UCLA in the 2006 NCAA Tournament in San Diego, CA.

Worst Moment: When I tried to throw a souvenir t-shirt into the stands and accidentally hit one of the opposing team’s players in the head. I really didn’t mean to Mr. Referee!
