My team, everyone is really nice.
Tell us a little about yourself.
I’ll be celebrating my 5 year anniversary on October 2nd of this year. I have two wonderful cats Patches O’Houlihan and Lebowski. Patches is the troublemaker that likes to play fetch with twist ties. Lebowski tries to stay out of trouble, except when he steals the occasional receipt or piece of paper to crumple up and play with. I’m from Penn Hills, but I spent years living in southern California.
I love to travel, but I’m mostly a homebody. I’m happiest when I’m just hanging out at home.
