| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience was winning a chess tournament in grade school. I was very proud of myself. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I most identify with my grandfather. He was an amazing engineer and athlete. I also identify with my father, he is an accomplished scientist. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | Strength in the face of adversity, intelligence, kindness and compassion. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I fell off my bike when I was showing off to a girl as a teenager. I was riding on the back wheel and when I leaned back I went crashing to the pavement. My friends made sure to never let me forget. It wasn't funny at the time but looking back it sure is. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I think I would take a cruise from Denmark to Canada traveling via the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Greenland. I think that's a trip most people don't get a chance to do. But with unlimited money I would pretty much travel everywhere. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I'd like to teach them to be a great person. |
