| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience happened when I was in high school. One spring, my high school experienced an EF4 tornado which destroyed the building. The upside was that a famous chef cooked for prom and a famous band played a free concert for the students. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | The closest family I identify with is my uncle. He was the cool nerdy uncle that is into metal and heavy music. My uncle served in the Air Force and was honorably separated through their lotto program. As of now he is a teacher. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire people who have integrity and who are honest. Integrity because living with a sense of honor and making informed decisions allows me to trust an individual with difficult choices. Honestly, I just like people who will tell me who I am and what I am doing without sparing my feelings, that I respect. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | The funniest thing that I can think of that happened to me was when I slapped by a Bald eagle. It was during a bird of prey show when they were demonstrating short distance flight between two people over the audience. Fortunately for me the child behind me decided to eat his lunchable during the demonstration, and the eagle decided to go after the deli meat and crashed into me. The handlers were scared but it was still pretty funny to hit by USA’s national bird. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would like to see Japan, if money was not an issue. I would visit to enjoy their cuisines and touch on some culture. Then maybe visit Alaska, I was born there but never got to experience it. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | What I would like to pass onto my children, security. Just to know that they will be safe and have the ability to be independent will be very satisfying. Just the security of their lives, even after I am gone, will keep me in peace of mind and soul. |
