Coffee Chat

Question One:

Team Coffee or team tea?
Long established captain of Team coffee. My day does not start until I have had my coffee. And no sullying it with milk or sugar.

Question Two:

If you could bring back any fashion trend, what would it be?
I am not the right person to ask about this. My fashion sense is not an expertise that should be asked for.

Question Three:

Favourite sports team?
Seattle Seahawks. Growing up in Vancouver and being an NFL football fan, my hawks are must watch for me on Sundays. There is nothing better than being apart of the 12th Man in the stadium.

Question Four:

What is your secret talent?
As a father of two competitive swimmers, I have the amazing ability to get people to where they need to be always on time.
