Mr. Smith,

Q: Tell us something that might surprise us about you.

A: "I restore classic cars as a side business. I have done body and paintwork for 20 years. I also work on my own cars and recently bought a 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner to restore."


Q: What is your favorite thing to do when you're not a work?

A: "I love to spend time with my family, traveling, camping, and enjoying time in the outdoors. I also like to work out, either in the gym or running."



Q: What advice would you give our students?

A: "Try something new at least once a year. It is good to get outside your comfort zone every once in a while. And if you are not good at it (you won't be), don't give up, but push yourself to get better."
