What is your most memorable childhood experience?

My father was a college basketball coach and my most memorable moments were associated with being around his teams. Whether traveling on the bus or hanging around the gym, this was a great experience for me and my brothers.

What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why?

I closely identify with my father both in physical traits and personality. We are both very hard driven, competitive people that try to be as fair and trusting as possible.

What character traits do you admire in an individual?

I admire a hard-working honest individual. I grew up in a very competitive family, but doing so not in a win-at-all-costs way, but outworking other people.

What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you?

My wife and I spent the night at my brother's house one weekend after going out, and my wife forgot her contact case. She decided to put the contacts in a glass of water. During the night I got up to get a drink, filled the glass full and swallowed the water and contacts.

If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why?

I definitely love to travel so I would restrict myself to one location. If money is not an issue why not take a trip around the world to experience as many different cultures as possible.

When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them?

I think the best thing to pass on to them would be to not get caught up with the big picture in life, but take time to enjoy the little things. When it is all said and done those are the things that mean the most in life.
