What are your favorite pastimes?
Family Vacations, which included anywhere from visiting my grandparents farm on a random weekend to visiting different states including Alaska!
What is your favorite movie and why?
This is a tough one, but I would have to go with any of the Marvel Universe. I like the action-packed, humor, and the good always wins conclusions!
What are you passionate about that not everyone knows?
I have a huge hobby most people would not even guess. I am a huge fan of trains and the railroad industry. This hobby of mine includes anywhere from taking pictures to collecting models.
[Editor’s Note: Sam’s interests in photography and railroads came together when his photo was selected to grace the cover of Zimmermann Printing’s 2024 photo contest calendar.]
What is your favorite place to travel to?
I would have to say anywhere I have not been to. For me, traveling to new and exciting places makes it all the more enjoyable! You never know what you will encounter!
