What are some of your hobbies and/or secret talents? 


I love reading books. Parable of the Sower is my all time favorite. I also enjoy trading stocks and can take phones apart and put them back together!


When are you the happiest? 


When I'm hanging out with my best friend Quin (yes, we share the same name) 

If money wasn't a thing, how would you spend your perfect day? 


I would spend the day teaching little kids something!

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?


I would go to Europe-more specifically France. I can speak a bit of French and would love to be emerged in the culture. 

What is a goal you are currently working towards? 


I am currently saving up to buy a property and rent it out to college students.

If you could do anything and weren't working at Pure, what would you do for a living?


I would program AI software as an independent contractor. 

If you could own your own business what would you open?

 
I would open a breakfast place focused on serving fruits and veggies grown by the business itself. 

What is your favorite quote/mantra?


I have two: 
1. The path of lease resistance leads to crooked rivers and crooked men. 
2. In life, it's either a testing or a blessing. 

How did you first hear about Pure?

 
I knew a bartender who worked at Pure and he referred me and I thought it sounded great- so here I am! 

What is your proudest moment at Pure?


Hmm.. probably when people come in and ask to sit at my tables. There's a specific couple, Pat & Jim, that come in and ask to sit with me. I love hearing their stories. 

....And the proudest moment of your life? 


When I rode my motorcycle to see Frank Ocean in New York and was given front row tickets once they found out. He was looking RIGHT at me! 

What is something most people don't know about you? 


I was a Division I athlete for track at Gardner Webb University in North Carolina.
