| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | My most memorable childhood experience was meeting my dad's whole side of the family in Romania when I was six years old. Even though I was very young, I still have vivid memories of this trip and all the family members I met for the first, and in some cases, last time. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | My father. He came to the United States in his mid-20s with no money and made something out of himself through hard work and faith. I have a lot of respect for what he had to go through when he came here. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | Trustworthy, dependable, optimistic, caring. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | On the night I met my wife we had a dance contest, but instead of being serious we were both doing silly dance moves like the robot, the worm, etc. That was when I knew we would be very compatible. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I would travel throughout Europe. There is a lot of history and culture that I would really appreciate seeing there. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I want to pass on to them a sense of responsibility and self-worth. I would want them to be hard working and to know the value of family and a good education. |
