| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | When I was in first grade, my teacher taught us how to make stew in class. I helped her cut the vegetables and prepare the meat. I loved the entire experience and the teamwork that went along with it. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify more with my mom because she is caring and smart. She likes to analyze things before making decisions so she can be more informed. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire patience, and political savviness. The ability to make logical decisions even when most others would be emotional. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I am a very trusting guy. Once another person helped me install a new light in my apartment for free. To thank him, I took him out to dinner, but it turned out that he thought it was a date! I had a girlfriend at the time, so the misunderstanding was funny in retrospect. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would go to Thailand to see the beautiful nature and understand another culture. I'd love to travel all around the world to see the world's cultures. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I'd like to pass on to them my patience, intellectual curiosity, and discipline. |
