Where can we find you on a typical Friday night? Relaxing with some friends and doing something crazy!
If you could be any superhero, who would you be and why? Batman because he is a self-made hero. He is just a man, without any extraordinary powers, who wants to make a difference.
What’s your favorite you’ve ever traveled to and why? Puebla, Mexico. It is the only place I’ve been to outside the US and I got to spend an entire week working with orphans, it was awesome!
