Pam Millar, What do you like to do when your not at work?
I enjoy hanging out with friends, hiking, being creative, scoring a great find at a garage sale and spending time with my 3 teenagers.
What’s playing on your iPod?
I love all kinds of music, so it’s always changing. I do enjoy Country, so Dierks Bentley, Billy Currington, Rascal Flatts and Garth Brooks are a safe bet.
Favorite TV shows?
I love shows that can make me laugh out loud! Some of my favorites are: Modern Family, Big Bang Theory, The Middle, The Grinder and Friends.
If you could vacation anywhere, where would you go?
I love to travel and explore new places and try new things. It’s always a bonus if it’s a tropical destination with a great beach!
What is your favorite season and why?
I love Fall… a crispness in the air, football, camping, colorful leaves, hayrides and bonfires. Now, instead of experiencing most of these things in September and October I just have to wait until December.
Fun fact about you?
I’m from Kansas and went to Wichita State University, so that makes me a Shocker!
