We thought we'd ask a few probing questions each week of our agents. This one is with Steve Gorman, who works out of our Franconia office. Our roving reporter Elspeth asked the questions:

  What are you currently reading? The Clifton Chronicles by Jeffrey Archer What is your favorite restaurant in the area? Black Mountain Burger in Lincoln. I'm a midwest guy, so the hamburger is king. What are you most proud of? – Everyone says the same, but I mean it---My family. Very proud of them all. What is your favorite thing to cook? I love to grill in the summer. Nothing better than the smell of a good BBQ. Favorite family tradition? My entire family gets together every Thanksgiving at a state park in Indiana for our family reunion. We have been going there since 1977, so it is like a second home to us all. What is your favorite winter activity? Is there anything else in New Hampshire in the winter - - skiing. What do you like to do in your spare time? A career in real estate, wife, 2 kids, dog and lots of friends…. What is this thing you call spare time? Do you have pets at home?   We have one old lazy dog, Gretta. The only time she moves is when you stand next to the treats bag. Real Estate memory? I could not believe the time that my wife and I bought a foreclosure without seeing it while standing in the driveway. It has all worked out and we love the house. Do you like coffee or tea? Love the smell of coffee, but even if you put a pound of sugar in it, it still wouldn't taste good to me. Tea it is. Do you prefer the Ocean or the Mountains? I have always loved the mountains for skiing until my 7 and 5 year old children are better skiers than I am, so I would say Ocean. What is your ski mountain of choice? Locally it is Bretton Woods on Sunday, but I have great memories of skiing at Steamboat Springs in Colorado. Can't wait to take my kids there!
