If you could have dinner with one person—living or dead—who would it be, and why?
If I could have dinner with one person, living or dead, I would choose Jesus. My faith shapes how I try to lead, serve, and treat people. I'd love to ask Him how to remain faithful and loving while carrying the responsibilities of business, ministry, and community service.
What's one hobby or interest that most people in Rotary probably don't know you have?
One interest some fellow Rotarians may not know about is pickleball. I've become quite passionate about the game, from improving my footwork to learning about paddle technology. It's a fun challenge and a great way to stay active.

What's the best piece of advice you've ever received, and from whom?
One piece of advice I try to live by is the biblical reminder of Galatians 6:9; not to grow weary in doing good. It encourages me to keep serving faithfully, even when the results aren't immediate or visible.
If you had one free day with no meetings, emails, or responsibilities, how would you spend it?
I'd start a free day with a workout, then play pickleball or basketball with friends. I'd enjoy a good meal without checking my phone, spend time with family or friends, and end the day with some quiet time, prayer, and gratitude.
What's one item on your bucket list that you hope to accomplish someday?
One item on my bucket list is to visit the 7 wonders of the world. I hope future Rotary conventions will be in Brazil.
What is your favorite part of Rotary?
My favorite part of Rotary is the fellowship that leads to meaningful service. It's rewarding to meet people who bring different skills and experiences, then work together to make a practical difference in the community.
