What are you passionate about? I’m passionate about learning new things. The ability to learn new things is one of the greatest gifts you’re given in life.

Who do you admire? Mark Cuban. I admire someone who is able to create a successful life from nothing. It takes true determination to create success when you have limited resources.

What’s something most people don’t know about you? I learn something from everyone, even the tiniest detail. It may be something they say or a reaction they have to something. I absorb everyone’s personality. I don’t really tell people; it just becomes a part of me.

Are you a dog person or a cat person? Dogs. Cats are shady, man.

If you had to pick, would you want someone with beauty or brains? Brains. Beauty only last so long before it fades. Intelligence is forever.

My last meal would be … The juiciest, rarest steak I could possibly eat.

My theme song would be … “Indictment” by All That Remains

My best concert was … Jane’s Addiction Reunion Tour with Nine Inch Nails and One Day as a Lion.

For a good time I … grab a couple good friends, some good music, some beers and go outside, just relax. In a world where everyone is constantly moving you need time to just relax.
