Favorite Sport Memory: The Nuggets were playing the Portland Trail Blazers in the playoffs a couple years back. I went with one of my good friends, and we watched the Blazer’s point guard, Damian Lillard, set an NBA playoff record with 12 3-pointers. Including game-tying shots to force overtime and double overtime and scored a playoff career-high 55 points on 17-of-24 shooting. He made 12 of 17 from 3, breaking Klay Thompson’s single-game playoff record of 11 (ALL TIME). Yet somehow the Nuggets still won the game! GO NUGGETS!

Favorite Food: Filet please.

Random Facts: I used to coach high school baseball. I enjoy trying new things, although I am very much a homebody at times. Roller coasters are a no from me dog. Speaking of doggos, I have two at home; Louie is my 3 year old mini Doxin, and Stanley is a 10 month old Vizsla/Ridgeback mix who is not so mini. Yet they are best friends!
