I enjoy being a production manager because I like a leadership role. I answer team members questions and help wherever I can.
What is your proudest moment at Avalon?
Working just about 24 straight hours to get a project done on time. I sometimes see finished product pictures from clients and wish that would happen more.

If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would it be and why?
Italy because I’m Italian and the food!
If you were stuck on an island and could only bring three things, what would they be?

- A magnifying glass or a mirror to start a fire, feel warm, and be able to cook.
- A Swiss army knife to prepare food, protect ourselves, and build a shelter.
What do you do for fun?
Golfing with friends and playing my guitar and piano.
