Favorite project to work on: I really enjoy milling material. Starting with a rough slab of wood and turning it into something usable.

Official and unofficial roles at Sunnyside: I kid you not, my official title is “controller”. Some close to me might say I was born for that role. ;) Unofficially, I make things official. Anything that requires a paper trail, you can bet it came from me.
Random fact about you: I grew up with dual accents- midwestern and British. My parents are from London and didn’t like harsh midwestern accents, so I had to sound like the old country to them. I also didn’t want to stand out as a kid at school, so I learned to switch back and forth. I totally still can.
