One interesting fact about yourself: I was in The Ohio State University Marching Band

for 4 of my 5 years in college.


If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be and why?

I would love to have a conversation with Mr. Rogers. I would thank

him for providing a wonderful children’s TV show that taught me many life lessons. Also,

he seemed like he would be a nice friend to have.


It is a lazy Sunday, how would you spend your day? While I know it is considered a

“lazy” Sunday, I would probably go workout, maybe run around the neighborhood. I would

also go to a café, grab a nice cup of coffee, and read about the fascinating subject of

human psychology. Science fiction is also a fun choice.


What is the funniest comment you have heard from a child while working for SMS?

“Do you have hygiene problems?”


When you were a kid growing up, what did you want to be? I always wanted to be

a doctor. However, I always thought in the back of my mind that I would be a famous

musician, maybe even a rock star. Today I play multiple musical instruments, so I was not

too far off.


If you were stranded on a desert island, and could pick three items, what would they be?

A guitar and a very long book to keep my sanity, and either some communicating device or stick to

write “S.O.S” in the sand (assuming there is sand at all).


What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter?

It was a babysitter’s first day, and she took my brother and I to Easton mall. After a very

fun day in the mall, our babysitter realized she forgot where she parked her car. So we

looked for her car for about 30 minutes. Afterwards, my brother and I continuously made

fun of her (out of love) for temporarily losing her car.


What has been your most memorable experience while working with SMS?

When I babysat for one of my first families, I ended up babysitting these

two boys for about a week. Near the end they very sweetly began to call

me “Uncle Jason” even after I repeatedly and nicely told them that calling

me just “Jason” was totally fine. That was a moment that truly warmed my

heart.
