| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | into the pool, wiffle ball, stick ball, dinner, then either relaxing inside or staying out and playing games such as freedom or manhunt. I will always remember those days because to me, they were the epitome of being a kid; we were all out having fun and not really worrying about anything since we were too focused on enjoying one another's company. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | very close to this day despite our differing work schedules. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | something that is very important to me, as I believe that doing the bare minimum that is required of your job is not enough. My paternal grandfather, who is eighty years old, still works forty plus hours a week largely due to his strong work ethic. Finally, accountability is very important to me because I believe that holding yourself accountable shows a lot about a person. A willingness to admit when you're wrong shows a great deal of maturity, in my opinion. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | high speed. In doing so, I wound up going butt first into the boards and caused them to spread wide open which instantly stopped play. The stoppage lasted about ten minutes as the rink staff struggled to reconnect the two pieces, which provided plenty of time for teammates, opponents, and fans to mess with me. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | history that places like Berlin and Munich have to offer, and I'd love to go to Oktoberfest for a chance to really experience German culture during a marquee event. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | everyone is different. To make this work, though, a person has to do more than understand someone else; they actually need to care about this potentially differing point of view and show compassion to the struggles that that person may face. |
