What is your favorite iPad app?
Pandora. Everyone probably says that, but a well-tuned Pandora channel is one of life’s great joys. I’m quite certain that Pandora knows my mood before I do.

What are you most looking forward to in the next year?
I’m a huge college football fan so fall is always my favorite time of year. Roll Tide.

What is your favorite movie from adolescence?
I’ll answer it as favorite book/movie combo and say ‘Patriot Games.’ As a teenager I really liked Tom Clancy books and Harrison Ford movies so this was a hit, and it piqued my interest about the conflict in Northern Ireland, which I went on to study in depth.

Who influenced you the most when you were a child?
My brother, Jay. He’s seven years older than me so he always was (and continues to be) the “cool” one that I looked up to.
