The New Year brought a new face to our team. Riley Houlihan joined us just before the holidays and while its been interesting settling in while working from home, its great getting to know him.

If you were a superhero what powers would you have?

Teleportation because I could travel the world so much easier. Plus I could visit my family or friends in different states in an instant.

What are your hobbies?

Outdoor activities like hiking, camping, snowboarding, biking etc… but also some indoor activities like playing video games. I have been playing a lot of Animal Crossing on my Nintendo Switch lately

Favorite Family recipe

Hungarian Chicken Paprika, passed down from my mother’s side of the family. Her father was an immigrated from Hungary so that has always been a strong cultural connection in our family. She makes it with Hungarian paprika and then makes her own spaetzle from hand. I recently learned how to make it myself last Christmas.

What is the tallest building you have been to the top of?

My dad’s family is all from Chicago, so we made frequent visits to the city when I was growing up. I remember going to the top of the John Hancock Tower, but it is a vague memory. More recently I went to the observation deck of the Foshay tower, and that was awesome. I hope to get into some of the other tall towers in Minneapolis someday.

Are you a clean or messy person?

I think I am slightly messy, but I am relatively clean in comparison to my 4 Roommates. I would say that I do the most to keep the house tidy. The same goes for my girlfriend, I am usually more on top of cleaning my messes than she is, but it helps to keep each other accountable.
