Ever wonder who manages social media for Maryville? That would be Chris Reimer. Reimer has been the associate director of new media at Maryville for the last two years.
We asked Reimer the following questions as a part of Pawprint’s take on a “What’s Up Wednesday” interview.

Favorites
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?
White (for home decorating…[it] brightens things up).
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE?
“Spy” – super-foul language, but wow this movie is insane. Jason Statham is hilarious in it. The conference room scene is out of control.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DESSERT?
Tiramisu. I don’t eat a whole lot of desserts.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW?
NBA basketball
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
Summer
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HOBBY?
Public Speaking
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TIME OF DAY?
Morning, because coffee.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BOARD GAME?
Probably Chutes and Ladders, I’m so good at it.
How?

Black and daily. No Keurig. I do a daily pour over using my Kalita Wave and coffee from great roasters like Temple, Blueprint and Verve.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU LIVED IN ST. LOUIS?
Forty-six years.

Promoting my first book “Happywork” and playing with my kids.

HOW WOULD YOUR FRIENDS DESCRIBE YOU?
Hopefully briefly and without calling me names.
Would you rather…
READ ON A TABLET OR PAPERBACK?
Paperback. I like having bookshelves filled with books.
TRAVEL BY CAR OR PLANE?
Where are we going? Planes take me to really cool places.
VACATION IN ALASKA OR HAWAII?
Hawaii (but honestly, Turks and Caicos).
TRAVEL TO THE PAST OR THE FUTURE?
Future as long as someone could guarantee me that it wasn’t all dystopian and dangerous.
FACEBOOK OR TWITTER?
My heart says Twitter, but you know the answer (Instagram and Snapchat).
COKE OR PEPSI?
Dr. Pepper, but I don’t drink soda anymore.
LOSE YOUR SENSE OF SIGHT OR HEARING?
Meh. I’m takin’ a mulligan on this one.
CHOCOLATE OR WHITE CAKE?
I don’t eat cake. Like, not even if it’s an office birthday party. I’m the insensitive jerk saying, “I don’t want any of your cake.”
MILK OR DARK CHOCOLATE?
Dark all day.

Anthony Bourdain, my wife and the four other members of a secret society of which I’m a member.

No, I’m terrible at it. I can bake a pizza.
WHAT IS ONE THING THAT NO MARYVILLE STUDENT KNOWS ABOUT YOU?
I had a gun pointed at my head in Moscow. I’ve also spent an hour in a Moscow jail. I was also offered a Russian wife by some weird guy on a bridge overlooking the Moscow River. Did I mention I lived in Moscow for five months?
