What’s the first thing you would do if you won the lottery?
I’ve thought about this a lot, actually. I definitely would just go somewhere, I don’t know where, but I would fly somewhere with a select few people and just go abroad. Then we’d come back and buy houses in our favorite places, but we would have to go on a trip first.
Â
What’s on your list of destinations?
Spain (anywhere in Spain), Tahiti, all the big European cities, Australia, I’d even go revisit Cancun.

Well until you win the lottery, what are some of your favorite places to hang out in Wilmington?
Jerry Allen’s, Courts and Sports, Kat 5 Kava Bar, Front Street Brewery and The Pub at Sweet and Savory
Â
What would an ideal Wilmington first date be with a girl you really like?
A nice restaurant on the beach, if she was a girl I really liked. I don’t know in particular because then you always have something to do after dinner like go chill on the beach.
Â
What’s your best pick-up line?
I don’t really have pick-up lines. Usually, just like “Hey, can I get you a beer?”
Â
What kind of qualities do you look for in a girl?
