Here at Grassroots, we address everyone by nicknames because it’s more fun for the kids, and quite frankly for us as well! What is your Grassroots nickname going to be?
My nickname is going to be “QB,” because I do all of the QuickBooks bookkeeping for TGP (among other things)!
We’re all about praising and celebrating each other for a job well done. We call these “shout-outs.” If you could give a shout-out to anyone right now, who would it be and why?

What are you most excited about this upcoming year?
I am most excited learn more about Grassroots, and all of the individuals involved with Grassroots

My biggest role models would have to be my parents. I have seen them work incredibly hard to provide for their family, in order to provide their children with opportunities that they themselves did not have.
What is your favorite sport & what is your favorite sports team?
