Q: What do you think Birch Hill’s best qualities are?

Q: What about what you do brings you the most personal satisfaction?

Q: When you’re not working, how do you spend your time?
A: I like to spend time with friends and family, swim, and golf. Being a bit of an introvert, I also like to read and play video games.
