| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience is that of daily trips to a local creek to fish and enjoy nature. I spent most days of my youth at the creek fishing and appreciating the flora and fauna of the area. I look back fondly on those days. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify with my mother’s oldest brother. I appreciate his life journey and strength. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire strength for its utility in life. I appreciate kindness for its ability to soften even the hardest of emotions. I appreciate durability for its use in weathering the turbulence of what life throws at us. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | The funniest thing to ever happen to me was gaining the attention of my high school sweetheart. I finally quit trying to get the attention of females and suddenly there she was for reasons I still do not understand. To this day it brings a smile to my face when I think about how it came to be. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would go to Alaska. It's the last wild place in America replete with ample fishing and exploration opportunities. I still love wild places. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on my love for seeing others succeed. I would pass to them all the patience and life lessons I would have loved to have as a child. I would hope to pass on a bit of money, so they don't have to worry about small things in life. |
