With him, it's about blue jeans, great words and most importantly rock and roll—what more could anyone ask for?

Jason Madore | Fine Tuner | Project Manager
If you were marooned on a deserted island, what noted person would you want to be with and why?

If you were marooned on a deserted island, what noted person would you want to be with and why?
Martha Stewart. I think she has great ideas. I'm sure she can whip that deserted island into a festive tropical paradise in a matter of minutes. For example, a few well placed sea shells on a piece of drift wood could make a fabulous table arrangement. I bet she can figure out how to make piña coladas from fallen coconuts and then, in just a few quick and easy-to-follow steps, tie all the nut shells together to make a seaworthy vessel to get us off the island. All I have to do is kick back, sip my colada and watch her work her magic.
