Staff & Counselors
 Fausto Fernandez - Cadet Senior Leader |  |
| Influences: G-pa Raul for innovation and creativity. G-ma Tomasa for Faith and encouragement. My dad Fausto for courage and character. Motivators: Tell me something can't be done. Fixing something broken, and it works again. Special times in my life: When I met the Jesus for real. Marrying Michelle my belle. Birth of my kids, Amanda, Jennelle and Fausto III (Tony)- nothing could be finer. Birth of my G-kids, Jaelyne and Kaily- they're the best. Where I was born: Cienfuegos, Cuba Where I grew up: I don't think I'll ever grew up, but I was raised in Zeeland. Favorite food: Pig in the blankets (from Dutch Delight bakery). Any seafood, but fresh Crab Claws from Garcias Market in Miami can't be beat. Any Cuban food. Favorite music: Blues and jazz. Anything from the 60's/70's Favorite book: Not much of a reader. I have a short attention span. I need action. Favorite movie/TV: Any satire will do. All the Airplane movies. Anything Monty Python. News junky. Favorite quote: The character of a man is best told by the way he treats those that can do absolutely nothing for him. Cool place I've been: Mt Rushmore, Beaver Island, Guernica, Spain (where my great-g-pa was born.). Went through the Soo Locks in my boat. What I like to do for fun: Boating. UofM football (nothing like a football Saturday in Ann Arbor). Cadets. Ice fishing. Spending time with real friends. A good Cigar. Where I would like to go someday: Where I was born and The Canary Islands. The Grand Canyon. Goals: Boat down the Mississippi, ala Huck Finn. Live on an Island (again) and walk around barefoot all the time. |  |
