What jobs did you
have as a teenager? MT: I had numerous jobs as a teenager including
newspaper routes, as well as positions as a busboy, dishwasher, grill cook and
hoagie sandwich maker.

do in your off-time? MT: I enjoy relaxing with my family, working with community
outreach through ministries and working with children through my camp. I also like to find time to create musical
composition as well.
What is your favorite
movie? MT: The Ultimate Gift.
If you could have one
super power, what would be? MT: I would choose the ability to fly….so when
I become tired and need to get away I just get up and go!

This would include paying for a training center where financially challenged
and unskilled people could come to learn marketable skills for free.
