Q. What is your favorite vacation destination?
A. I've been able to visit lots of amazing and beautiful places. Some of my favorites are Montana and the American Club in Wisconsin.
Q. To someone who was visiting those places for the first time, what would you recommend that they do during their visit?
A. I'd say take some time to go ATV riding into the mountains, wade into the river and go fly-fishing, ride horses out onto the plains and just do things that you wouldn't normally have the chance to do. It makes these places so much more of an adventure.
Q. What untapped destination should people know about?
A. Definitely the Arkansas Delta. I've made many trips there and it's always a favorite. Go visit and drive through the local towns. You'll find lots of places there with so much heart and soul. Also try out the local barbecue and tamales. Delicious!
Q. What was the first trip you took as a child?
A. The first trip I can remember was going camping with my family in upstate New York. It was such a great trip, I remember my brother and I jumping into the lake and going canoeing, eating hot meals over a fire and enjoying being outdoors.
Q. What's the most important thing you've learned from your travels?
