How long have you worked for the Town of Christiansburg?I’ve worked with the Town 23 ½ years full time and 7 years part time.

What is your favorite part of your job?I enjoy interacting with the people and the community.

Do you have a favorite Town moment?My favorite moment was when we hosted the first World Series at the Harkrader Field. It was a big accomplishment for the Recreation Department to host a tournament of that magnitude.

What do you hope to see happen with the Recreation Center in the future?I hope they continue to offer all the services that the Town provides and that they continue to grow.

What are some of your favorite places in Christiansburg, and why?I like the Huckleberry Trail because it’s nice to get out in nature and it’s quiet. The Christiansburg football field because I love football. I also like being at home because I get to spend time with my pets.

What are your favorite hobbies or recreational activities that you enjoy outside of work?I enjoy hunting, fishing, spending time with my family, going to Christiansburg High and Virginia Tech football games, golfing, traveling and watching NASCAR.

Where is your favorite place to travel?I like traveling to the Smokies. I also like the beach, but I hate the sand because it gets everywhere.

“What sets Christiansburg apart from all other towns is our people and the

community. They are close-knit, and when something happens they are there

for each other.”
