Q: How do you describe Dayton to people who have never been here? 

A: I always tell them about our awesome parks, our independent restaurants, our rich history and historic districts. Dayton is a great city, but it's small enough that you'll run into someone you know anywhere you go.

Q: What do you love about life in Dayton?

A: I love that I can be anywhere in 15 minutes. That I can get a great dinner and enjoy music, theater or pop into an art exhibit or sit in a quiet beautiful park.

Q: What would you do on a perfect date in Dayton? 

A: I love our parks! So I'd say that I'd get a Pine Club burger and onion rings and sit up at the Lookout at Woodland.

Q: What would you change about Dayton? 

A: The perception. There are good and bad things happening in every city. I wish that more people would focus on the good.

Q: What should people know about Dayton? 

A: What makes Dayton great are the people! Just when you think times are changing and the world seems scary…someone will go out of their way to help you or a stranger will smile and say "hello." It's all the little things that make Dayton great.

Q: What are your hopes for Wright Dunbar? 

A: That Wright Dunbar will continue to grow and become the vibrant historic district it's meant to be. Wright Dunbar is at a tipping point! There are so many things "just about to happen" if just one of those things happen the rest will fall into place.

Q: What do you think Dayton will look like in 10-15 years? 

A: Development takes time. Downtown is booming right now and the edge neighborhoods will start to reap the benefits. I believe those outside edges will also start to see redevelopment & reuse. We're reinventing ourselves as a city.
