What do you like about your job? Every day is different, I meet and work with world-class artists and my colleagues are fun, bright, creative people. What would you improve at Ohio State?

If you weren’t working at Ohio State, what would you rather be doing? I wouldn’t mind owning my own shop. That way I could carry all the stuff I can’t find in Columbus stores. Who is your hero? I don’t have a specific hero — we all have our own little heroic moments. What is your favorite activity outside of work? I like to spend time with my family, have friends over for dinner, go to the movies, do yoga, play tennis, work in the garden and listen to music. What are you going to do when you retire? Move to the Napa Valley and occasionally drink too much. If you were the university president for a day, what would you do?
