| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | Winning the little league title one summer, and it happened to be the first time I had ever played organized baseball. Everyone else on the team had had previous experience playing, but my mother registered me for the first time that year, and I ended up being designated by the coach as the most valuable player. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | My older sister. I used to despise her growing up, but her having moved out and found a job in a different area...well, I suppose absence makes the heart grow fonder. Our relationship has matured in the last several years, and in the few instances I've been able to talk with her, I can confide in her in a way I cannot with other members of my family. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | The ability to adapt and change one's mentality and persona to accomodate for the circumstances and problems he or she faces. So, really no particular character trait at all except for one that allows a person to change and cope with change. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I can't recall any particular moment in my life which can be identified as being the funniest thing ever to happen to me - not because of a lack of "funny" experiences but because I suppose there are too many to identify the "funniest." |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | The Patagonia region of Argentina. I'd like to travel to South America at some point in my lifetime and what better portion of South America to go to than the southern-most point of the continent, like the Tierra del Fuego. I'd prefer to see the glaciers while they're still there. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | My genes. |
