The Insider's new reporter, Keith Testa, comes to us from The Villager newspaper in Hillsboro. He graduated from John Stark Regional High School in 1998 and Susquehanna University in 2002 and lives in Concord with his wife, Emily, and their pets, Cooper and Jack.
We asked him a few questions so you can get to know him a little better.
Who's your favorite famous Concordian?
Matt Bonner. My brother played against him when they both were in high school. My brother, coincidentally, is not currently on an NBA roster.
What's the best thing about Concord?
The fact that it can feel like a small town but has enough going on to keep you entertained.
Coffee or tea?
Water.
Boxers or beagles?
Beagle mixes, like my buddy, Cooper.
What are you looking forward to most in your new job?
Working in the city I live in and exploring the parts of it I don't yet know.
Push-ups or sit-ups?
Both. Push-ups near the beginning of the workout, sit-ups at the end.
What do you do for fun?
Paint along to the Bob Ross show or craft haikus in the park. Wait, none of that is true. I'd rather be spending time with my wife, playing basketball or going to the gym.
How can readers contact you?
