Have you ever cried in a movie? Bridge to Terabithia. I was young; the death was sudden.
Role Model: The father, aka my dad. Taught me a lot of lessons, or rather tried to teach me lessons, but I still make mistakes, sorry dad.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? That’s the question I’m trying to figure out now in my life…. No idea. Having a successful job in San Diego, with a yacht, and my Sperry topsiders. Or maybe my own chain of subways in San Diego. I also wanna be in a frat.
Your greatest strength: Finding humor in everything.
Weakness: I don’t take things seriously.
Something we wouldn’t know about you? I’m actually quite sensitive and have taken an interest in the arts. I want to learn to play the piano, to serenade a woman with a sweet ballad.
If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be? Top 3: Will Ferrel, Aziz Ansari, Lionel Messi

Favorite beer: Ballast Point Sculpin
Guilty pleasure: I love watching cooking shows…Chef’s table, I’m obsessed. I also love old music. Creedence Clearwater Revival, Billy Joel, Elton John, Cat Stevens, Paul Simon…oldies relax me. Especially because back then, the music was created by the people singing it… nowadays it’s just not the same.
What items would you grab if you had to evacuate your apartment? Golf clubs (new hobby), my iPhone, wallet, sunglasses, water…were those really boring answers?
Pet peeves: When people talk with food in their mouth.
