Q: What’s the biggest risk you’ve ever taken?

A: My first job after college, I was asked to move to Arkansas for work. I had never been to Arkansas before and didn’t know what it was going to be like. My boss asked me if I wanted to fly down there, find a place to live, and check it out. I felt it would be more of an adventure if I didn’t scout it out and just go. So, I packed up all my stuff and drove down to Arkansas. It was funny when the apartment leasing office asked me when I was planning on moving in and I told them, “Now!” They gave me the oddest look.
