Q: What advice would you give to people?
I would advise people to prioritize their physical and mental well-being by maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. This includes getting regular physical activity, eating a nutritious diet, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and managing stress. It’s also important to nurture positive relationships and seek support when needed. Additionally, engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment can contribute to a sense of overall well-being. Lastly, staying informed about health issues and seeking professional medical advice when necessary is crucial for maintaining good health.

In ten years, I see myself getting ready to retire. Kids will be gone (hopefully) and Erin and I can start thinking about where we would like to retire.

John Fillipone is the most interesting person that I’ve met here. John runs Piedmont auto repair here in the Gainesville area. And also Piedmont location in Haymarket.
Q: What current or former local business makes you the most nostalgic about our community?
Piedmont Tire and Auto is one of my favorite businesses in the area. They are the most honest and reliable auto repair shops in the area. They are the best!
Q: What is your favorite thing or something unique about our community?
I like the Gainesville/Haymarket area mostly because we are minutes from the country. Wineries, breweries, and live music is never too far away. I’m not someone who likes to be near a city or too many people. There’s a country feel out here that I really do enjoy!
Q: If you could choose anyone that is alive today and not a relative; with whom would you love to have lunch? Why? And where locally would y’all meet for this lunch?
I would love to go have lunch with Dolly Parton. I love county music and would love to hear her tell some stories from all her years on the road. We would eat at Craftworx. There’s a stage there so hopefully she would get up a play a few songs.
