We’re only as good as our team, and they’re pretty awesome. Whenever we bring on a new team member, we like to introduce them (see all of our past team member introductions here). This month, we’d like to introduce you to our new project manager, Samuel Lopez.
- Name, and title and What would you say you do here? Samuel Miguel Lopez, Project Manager, I chill at the watercooler dishing out gossip.
- Hometown and how did you end up where you are? Hometown, Donna, Texas. After living throughout Texas, I seemed to always get pulled back here. This final return was due to my kiddo being born here.
- How did you end up at Weston? I put up a beacon and Weston came to the rescue.
- Favorite part about Weston? My favorite part about Weston is the team mentality, the support everyone provides to each other.
- What do you do for fun in your spare time? In my spare time, I enjoy building LEGO sets and camping, anything outdoors away from everything.
- What do in your spare time that nobody would guess? Play video games.
- If you could witness any event past, present or future, what would it be? The creation of a black hole.
- What chore do you absolutely hate doing? Cleaning the bathroom.
- If you had to pick one word to describe yourself, what would it be?
- If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet? If I could meet anyone, I would like to meet Neil deGrasse Tyson.
- What do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be a traveler when I grow up.
- If you could have any one superpower, which would you choose? I would choose the ability to heal quickly, like Wolverine.
- What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done in your life? Enlisting in the Army. Little did I know the affect that decision would have on my life and the lives of those around me.
- If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not, living or dead, real or fictional, with whom would it be? If I could trade places with any other person for a week, well, it would have to be someone living. I don’t want to be ashes somewhere or stuck in a coffin for a week. I would go with fictional, perhaps Silver Surfer. He travels the universe on his silver board.
- If you woke up tomorrow as an animal, what animal would you choose to be and why? I would choose to be a bird, flying high above the sky.

- If you were on an island and could only bring three things, what would you bring? I would bring the following:
- Water
- Pizza
- My dog
- Where’s Waldo? Waldo is on an island with his three things.
- A penguin walks through that door right now wearing a sombrero. What does he say and why is he here? If a penguin walked through my door right now he would say, “BRO! It’s hot here.” The penguin would be here because he’d be walking south for the winter, seeing as he can’t fly. Editor’s Note: For the record, at the time of writing this, the high temperature was 90°F in Donna, Texas, while the high in Bend was 20°F and it was 30°F in Anchorage.
- If I opened your fridge, what would I see? Which fridge would you be opening, wine or food fridge? If wine, wine, if food, Topo Chico.
- Here’s $20. What are you going to do with it? Buy pizza.
