Q: What do you think about the whole “save the trees” bit, and Chromebooks?

A: I would still be in education. My dream job would be to teach Computer Science courses and work with teachers on how to incorporate computer science into everyday teaching.

Q: If you had to give one piece of advice to your younger self, what would it be and why?

Q: Who’s your celebrity crush?

A: In music, I have two. One is Ryan Adams who does old country. And my second would have to be Ridge Robinson who is in the band Black Crows.
