What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?

Being a child in a horror house, I was venturing forward with trepidation. Looking all around when from beneath a sheet covered desk and arm grabbed my ankle. I've never been more excited and scared!

Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.

I am an American Veteran, with plenty of experience dealing with traumatic situations. I am a planner, and someone who usually has a solution to any problem in my bag. Survival is what I strive for every day!

What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?

I would plan the spookiest trip with my son, 27 and my mom, 75. They both love horror, ghost stories and adventures. I can conjure up a culinary and travel delight to sooth the soul.

Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?

My mother, she is a true baddie in every sense of the word. She has fought mental illness, been through it with relationships, but she still shows up for her family and is open and thoughtful with how she responds to situations. I feel like I can accomplish anything with her in my corner.
