| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | Going to theme parks with my family as a kid was always a great time. The thrill of the rides, the smell of the food in the air and the quality time with the family was very fun. It is an atmosphere and time I'll always appreciate when I think back to it. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I closely identify with both of my brothers. We grew up in the same household so their interests in music, working out, sports, cars, and games all definitely influenced me. It's hard to imagine how different I'd be without my brothers. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire people who are honest, empathetic, and persevering. People who are honest and empathetic are usually the most pleasant people to be around, communicate with, and are definitely people to look up to. Also, I can't help but appreciate people who, no matter the situation, find a way to persevere. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | One of the funniest things to happen to me was when I was on a trip to New York as a child. We stayed at this fancy hotel where they would put chocolates on the pillows. I loved them so I went and asked one of the workers for more chocolates. A while later the worker showed up with a $40 brownie and my dad was freaking out saying he didn't order it. Laughing the worker said "It's for my little buddy" referring to me and we got to enjoy it for free! Although I think my brothers ate most of it, it's definitely funny to think about. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If time and money weren't an issue I'd definitely want to travel to Japan, Australia/New Zealand, Africa, and Antarctica. The main reason I want to go to Africa, Antarctica, and Australia is to complete my journey to all 7 continents, not to mention to see the beauty of those places. Japan has always been a dream destination for me due to its beautiful nature, food, vibrant cities, and rich car culture, though I haven't had the chance to visit yet. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on to my children my calm demeanor, assuredness, resilience, and my respectful nature. I believe these traits are great ones to have. They should definitely help out in life. |
