Work took you away from us in 2024, and you were missed! But as we’ve all been enthralled with the reunion saga of Picard’s final season, we’re wondering if this amazing past year might have inspired any surprises for this cruise?
Time will tell. I expect some surprises.
It’s Voyager’s anniversary party this year, but of course Riker made one special Q-driven appearance in the Delta Quadrant. Could you ever have guessed that Riker would still be entertaining us decades later, and that the throwaway forebear Thaddeus “Iron Boots” Riker would come back to be your son’s namesake?
Never dared guess but eternally grateful.
From your first time with us back on Star Trek: The Cruise II in 2018, what’s been the biggest “evolution” in the fans or even the cruise itself that you’ve noticed?
The Cosplay has expanded exponentially in imagination and execution.
What’s a personal hobby or interest you suspect most fans likely still have no idea about? Besides jazz and your trombone, of course!
Swimming. Meditating.
How has your experience on Star Trek influenced you as an individual?
I never stop being thankful for my good fortune at being part of this amazing Trek family.
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A baseball player.
What goal are you working toward right now?
Continued health and happiness and finding more time to travel with my family.
