What does your company do, and what is your role there? Perceptive Software allows organizations to go paperless, by storing and managing their electronic content (documents, files, etc.). I am a Product Manager and drive the development of our software products.

First job ever: Cleaning my dad’s office.

If you had to do without one of your five senses, which would it be? Taste. I would be better able to set a good example for my daughter by eating all of my vegetables.

Have you ever milked a cow? Yes, at the Shatto Milk farm.

Do you use Twitter? I've tweeted a few times, but don't think anybody is following.

What’s a restaurant or dish you’ve always wanted to try? Justus Drugstore in Smithville.

What’s the best thing since sliced bread? Power tools.

What was your favorite activity (organized or otherwise) as a child? I was a pool rat, so I loved hanging out at Stonegate pool (97th & Antioch) with the other neighborhood kids.

What is the easiest way you’ve found to “go green”? Putting a Ripple Glass bin in the garage...didn't realize how many glass bottles we used to throw away (non-alcoholic, of course).

What was the first long trip you ever took? Road trip from Kansas City to Canada with my uncle and aunt, who lived there at the time.

Do you have a hidden talent? I have my pilot's license, so I'm legally able to fly an airplane by myself.
