Spotlight on Jay Fife | Chief Financial Officer

Favorite Food

BBQ Rib eye steak — pink in the center. It’s a Midwest thing!

Favorite Book

Growing up, I remember reading The Hobbit about eight times. It’s been awhile since I was a kid; maybe I should read it again!

Jump from a plane or scuba dive with sharks?

Out of an airplane — because when you leap you just don’t know where you are going to land. Which, by the way, isn’t so bad as long as you go out the door with your eyes open!

If you had one super power, what would it be?

Super sight — I can’t see anything without these bloody glasses!

Favorite Childhood Memory

Christmas morning with the family running to see what Santa brought — whatever happened with that?

What’s your favorite insect?

Praying Mantis — they just seem so alert and observant.

What name would you choose for your band?

The Bearded Freaks — 2010 World Champion San Francisco Giants! It’s all Rock n’ Roll, and I like it!

What is the weirdest thing you have eaten?

Sorry, meat and potatoes — again, it’s a Midwest thing. Hang on, wouldn’t some people find that weird?

If you could instantly be an expert in anything, what would it be?

World economics — because I don’t know where things are going and I don’t know who does, but I do know we are all going there together.

What do you want to do when you retire?

I was thinking barge captain on the Rhine River. Not a bad way to immerse yourself in the people, culture, and history of the region.
