| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My parents divorced when I was about 12, and I remember thinking that I would make sure I would never marry someone and have children with them unless I knew without question that I could spend the rest of my life with that person. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify with my father. He was the figure I most followed and who guided me growing up and has shaped who I am today. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire people who have the mental discipline to do things that may not be fun or comfortable in order to better themselves (for their health, financially, professionally, or socially). |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | I'm not sure of the funniest thing that’s ever happened to me, but I like to tease and prank my long-term girlfriend. One time while I was cooking dinner, I brought her a bowl of sliced green bell peppers but threw in a small slice of jalapeno. She ate it reacted the way I was hoping. However, I made the mistake of rubbing my eye with the dried jalapeno juice and we spent the next twenty minutes with our roles reversed as I stood over the bathroom sink trying to wash my eye fruitlessly. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would return to my favorite places I have visited, with the people I love, to show them and experience the place with them. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on the ability to think critically, and to form meaningful and well-supported ideas. |
