QUESTIONS:
What did you want to be when you grew up (as a kid)?
A baseball player, you have to be much better at baseball in order to do that professionally. If it wasn’t that, I wanted to be a game warden for awhile.
Which celebrity would you want to play you in a movie? What kind of movie is it?
Harrison Ford in an action-adventure movie.
What are you reading right now/most recently? What’s it about?
Well, okay, I’m always reading like 15 different things because that’s my job, probably something that’s not immediately work related. “Sapiens”, it’s basically like a history of our species through its origins to the present.
Aside from necessities, what are three things you could not go a day without?
Coffee, (I mean, this is sad) but work, I’m a workaholic and the sunshine.
Which country do you want to spend 10 years living in?
Lots of places I would live for one year, I don’t know about 10 years. You might be able to notice I have commitment issues. Five years, I will say, Italy, NOT Rome, and maybe Florence.
If you could join any past or current music group which would you want to join? Why?
I would never wanna join a music group. I’m too much of a loner for a music group. I admire people who play music but it seems like one of the last things I’d ever wanna to do.
