10 Year Vision for Knoxville I like Knoxville and where it is headed. What’s great about Knoxville’s slow and steady growth is foreseeable. If you don’t like where it is headed there is plenty of time to alter its path before it is realized. What is Knoxville's Best Kept Secret? It's an easy place to live. Whatever you want out of Knoxville you can focus on it and that is your Knoxville and it totally different than the Knoxville someone else focuses on- yet both mutually exist. What would you do to strengthen Knoxville? Help those not experiencing the best of life or Knoxville, the homeless. To think we have some many people without housing, a basic need, it a tough to believe. What is your favorite Knoxville memory? That's a tough one. But graduation last year in Neyland stadium from UT Law was defiantly up there. What is your favorite book or what book is currently on your nightstand? Getting This Done by Michael Allen What is the best advice you have received from a mentor, and who was that mentor? Regardless of your preconceived notion of the meeting, right or wrong, go. What advice would you give to your 16 year old self? get tested!
