| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My baseball team won the championship when I was ten years old. It came down to the wire. I was on deck to bat but my friend knocked in the game winning run. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | My brother, because he is a free spirit like me and we connect on many subjects even though we don't see each other. He lives in Moscow, Russia. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | Loyalty, honesty, integrity, empathy, critical thinking skills, and compassion for when mistakes are made. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I was running to my friend's car to get to lunch during high school and my friend slammed on the brakes. I went right into the back window. It got a ton of laughs. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel to New Zealand because it has all four seasonal climates within a few hours' drive. Not to mention it is relatively unmolested by human occupation compared to the rest of the world. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I want my children to be vigorously curious, confident, diligent in their research or subject of focus, and most importantly aware of the Universe we live in and the oneness of all things. |
