Connie Belden 

Retired 

I’m best at communication, as I have great communication skills. I’m very upfront, personable and non-judgmental. I’m an all-around good girl. I’m worst at lying. I’m a bad liar, and I always get caught in my lies. I’m also the worst at getting things done. I’m a procrastinator. I’m shopping today, and I should be at home packing and saving up my money. 

Anthony Cross 

Finish carpenter 

I’m best at my carpentry skills, especially doing countertops. I make custom countertops, and I have to be very precise in my measurements to make them fit. It’s a dying art. I’m worst at my plumbing skills. Actually, I’m OK at plumbing, but I’m better at carpentry. Plumbing stinks. It really does stink, especially when you’re working with sewer stuff. 

Luke Opperman 

Civil engineer 

I’m best at enjoying the outdoors. I love finding the hidden nature spots in Northern Nevada. I like to camp and hike; it keeps me young. I’ve been doing this since I was a teenager, so I’m pretty good at it. I’m worst at understanding my teenage children. Until they were 12, they used to like hanging with me in the outdoors, but now it’s all about the mall and movies. I don’t understand it. 

Nicole McCaskill 

Teacher 

I’m best at teaching theology. I spend most of my time in prep for lessons. It takes four hours to prep for a one-hour lesson. I’m worst at finding time for myself—time for me to decompress. I want all the noise and buzzing in my head to go away. I need to find time to turn off my mind. 

Randy McCaskill 

Pastor 

I work with international students, scholars and visiting professors. I’m really good at introducing them to Reno, finding them housing and transportation, introducing them to churches and getting them settled. But I’m worst at managing my time. I’m always busy and sometimes overwhelmed. I need to stop saying yes to everyone.
