Best thing about representing the destination of Hershey: There is never a dull moment! Each day brings something new and exciting. This is the only place where you can ride coasters all day and see a concert or hockey game at night.
Favorite ride at Hersheypark: Fahrenheit, because the thrill of the 90-degree vertical lift never wears off.
Favorite animal at ZooAmerica: Hands down … the prairie dogs!
Favorite treatment at our Chocolate Spa: The couples massage. Life is so hectic, it’s a time that allows you both to relax.
Favorite Hershey's product: York Peppermint Pattie
Favorite "fun fact" about Hershey: The streets are lined with Kiss-shaped streetlights.
Most memorable moment in Hershey: Oh, boy … this is tough. I’m involved in the concert industry, and each show we have is memorable. A particular moment that stands out is being on stage with the Rolling Stones. When they performed at Hersheypark Stadium in 2005, the media were allowed to shoot the show from onstage with them. It was surreal. If you had told me I’d someday be standing on stage next to Mick Jagger, I never would have believed you!
