Most Surprising App on Your Phone: "GamePigeon, it's a gaming app I use to play games with family."
Your Favorite Super Hero: "Two of my most prized possessions are encyclopedias of the DC and Marvel universes, so I feel a little self-conscious here that my pick is sort of boring. I'd say Super-Man. He was an alien, he was different than everyone else. But his humility and dedication to helping others always impressed me—along with his ability to travel the world and speak different languages."
Your Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: "As a child it was mint chocolate chip. As an adult, it's chocolate chip cookie dough. My dad's on my mind because of Father's Day—I always think of him when I see rum raisin. It was his favorite."
