Who in public service inspires you? (no local or divisive politics here please)
Having worked behind the scenes in local government, I am inspired by the decided staff, administration/management, and elected officials both in the City and Sedgwick County.
Why is public service important to you?
I am a proud Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets graduate. The purpose of the Corps is to develop leaders of exemplary character, imbued with the concepts of selfless service and dedicated to serving the Commonwealth and the nation - in or out of uniform - for a lifetime. I believe in this purpose and try to live by the quote of one of my heroes, Muhammad Ali: “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.”
What’s your favorite place to eat in Wichita?
