AW: The people. There is just something special about the people in this industry. We are all so lucky to be a part of it!

SEMA: On a Saturday, where can you be found? 

AW: On a trail, in a Jeep some place in North Carolina with my boyfriend. Or shopping; I love shopping and Jeeps equally! 

SEMA: How do you prepare for going to an important meeting?

AW: I’m always excited to learn something new.

SEMA: If you could go to lunch with one industry leader, living or dead, who would it be? 

AW: Charlie Van Cleve. She is one of my very favorite people on earth! And hopefully she’d bring Amy Faulk and not a chance my dad would miss that lunch.
