Board Of Directors
Misha Collins
Co-Founder and Board President
Patronus: Infinity or a pony… So I’m going with, “infinite ponies”
Favorite color: I don’t have a favorite color because I’m not five. But that being said…orange.
Favorite food: Cedar plank salmon and salted caramel, but not usually at the same time
Super power: Reincarnation, but I haven’t perfected the “switching bodies” part yet. (Or: the ability to subliminally plant a low humming sound in anyone’s mind. It’s relatively useless as superpowers go, but on the upside it’s pretty annoying.)
Bucket list item: 1. Successfully completing every other person’s bucket list on the planet. 2. I don’t believe in bucket lists. I prefer to use pails for all my list-making. 3. Riding infinite ponies on Mars. 4. I’ve never gotten around to writing a bucket list, so I’m crowdsourcing it. Send me bucket list items to: mishasbucketlist@gmail.com.
