Favorite childhood memory:  Every Christmas morning!  Waking up at the crack of dawn to see what Santa left in our stockings, checking to see if he had eaten any of the cookies we left out for him, and running to wake my parents up (likely just as they had gone to bed)—Those are very special memories! 

Something interesting about you or your family others may not know:  My parents are both musicians; therefore I was raised around music and live surrounded by it to this day.  In fact, I was born at the Oklahoma City Zoo Amphitheater!
