What is your vision for Knoxville 10 years from now?

Knoxville has so many wonderful resources such as the Smoky Mountains, Tennessee River, ORNL, a vibrant and growing downtown, and amazing people. Knoxville needs to get ahead of developing its energy and transportation infrastructure and I see us continuing to develop these resources and creating a mid-size city the is the envy of the country.

What is your favorite Knoxville memory?

Kenny Chesney stadium concert when I was in high school. It was the first time I had ever experienced a crowd that size listening to live music. Garth was awesome, but Kenny was my first mega concert and Peyton Manning even got up on stage!
