| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My dad helped me make a catapult for a neighborhood water balloon fight when I was very young. The thing was awful and was no better than just throwing the balloons, but it was super fun to make and use. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify most with my father. We have a lot in common and enjoy a lot of the same activities. On top of this he’s one of the most honest people I know so I can always rely on him. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire honesty. It doesn’t matter how good someone is at something, if you can’t trust them then they’re worthless to you. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | When I was in high school, I would perform an armed tandem drill exhibition with a friend. We did a lot of crazy and dangerous moves during our competitions. Funniest moment was during a performance when my partner barley managed to catch a rifle, and had massive panic in his eyes, but neither of us could show any emotion during the performance, so I just had to stand there straight faced while he did a bunch of random moves to make a poor catch look good. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I want to travel to Japan. I’ve loved Japanese culture for a long time. I would love to go experience Tokyo, the countryside, and the food. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would like to pass on a good sense of skepticism, as well as a worker’s mentality. You should always question what you hear to truly believe it. You must also be willing to work. |
