What brought you to Grand Rapids and why have you stayed?

I was raised on the west side of Michigan but moved to Grand Rapids in 1993. I love this city and everything it represents and I can't imagine living anywhere else.

What do you think is Grand Rapids' most unique meeting venue?

My favorite unique venue would be the Grand Rapids Art Museum. I love how contemporary it is and how it looks out over a water fall.

What is your favorite annual event in Grand Rapids?

ArtPrize

What is your favorite destination you've been to and why did you go there?

Family vacations to both Jamaica and St. Thomas were definitely my favorite. I love Islands!

What is your favorite Grand Rapids place for lunch?

I have so many but one of my favorites is the Bull's Head. I love the low key atmosphere, and the food is delicious.
