| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | Most memorable to me are the times I spent with my grandfather. One Christmas when I was maybe six or seven he bought me an action figure castle. We made a game up with these action figures and would compete against each other. I made up all of the rules as we went along to work to my favor. Even if he didn't want to let me win, I would have won anyway. Probably explains why I am so competitive today. Every subsequent visit in the following few years I would beg him to play it again with me. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I get my looks and personality from my father, but I have always been closest to my mother. There is no shame in being a bit of a "Mama's boy." |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | On top of all things, a sense of humor. Nothing else puts me more at ease within a social experience. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I was going to a friend's (more of an acquaintance) graduation party in high school. I spent about thirty minutes eating food at the party before someone walked up and asked me why I was there. I was at the wrong party. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | The Tianjin Province in China to do the Great Wall Marathon. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | My tenacity and drive for knowledge and athletics. |
