Q: What’s the most daring thing
you’ve ever done?
A: The night I proposed to my wife,
Kayla. It was Christmas Eve and I took
her to a secluded garden that was
full of lights. I brought her to a pond,
and across the pond a sign made out
of lights said, “Marry me,” turned
on and I got down on one knee and
ask her to marry me. My heart was
pounding.

you want to be when you grew up?

exterminated.

A: I hope to make beekeeping my career. There is an amazing connection
to nature that comes from working
with bees, and they are such a vital
part of our food system. Without them
