| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | I went to see Ronnie James Dio in concert with my best friend and my dad. I was only ten, but I witnessed greatness that day. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I identify most with my sister. We share a healthy skepticism for institutions and authority. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire energy, persistence, authenticity, and a willingness to listen to others. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | When I was working for a landscaping crew, one day I got separated on a hundred-acre property. I found who I thought was the greenskeeper to receive instructions. We got talking and I shared my Marxist ideologies about how vile and selfish the property owner was for all his extravagances. Later when my crew found me, they informed me I was talking to the owner of the property who had founded a real estate company. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | I'd like to travel through southern Asia and visit places like Tibet, Burma, the Himalayas. They seem like very spiritual and beautiful places to me. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I'd like them to be excited about life. Everyone is at some point, but I'd like them to be curious and excited for as long and persistently as possible. |
