1. If you could have dinner with any fictional character, who would it be and why?
Shrek or Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. No in between. Or both if that’s an option. 
2. If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Instant Crush by Daft Punk
3. What’s something you’ve done that you think no one else in the office has?
I got to fight Darth Maul with a lightsaber at the 2010 Star Wars Celebration Weekend at Disneyland and my family was super impressed. 
4. If you could see one event from history in person, what would it be?
Watching Bob Dylan go electric at the Newport Folk Festival would have been mind-blowing! 
5. What is your favorite Admirals memory?
Troy Grosenick’s final shootout block to secure the longest win-streak in franchise history was SO special. Magical run. 
6. What is the last book you read and loved? (Or hated!)
I most recently read the Count of Monte Cristo. It was a lengthy and intimidating read but flowed nicely with a really well constructed plot and awesome characters. Worth a read!
7. What is the most bizarre wrong number text or phone call you ever received?
I recently got invited to a barbeque by some random dude named Tim. After he realized it was the wrong number, he revoked the invitation. Pretty lame of Tim if you ask me. 
8. If you could only eat foods of one color, what color would you choose? Why?
Red. You get a lot of variety, and I love strawberries
9. What is your favorite holiday?
Halloween! Fall time, spooky vibes, awesome movies. What’s not to love?!
10. What is the oddest way you ever accidentally hurt yourself?
I won a race in the streets of Boston recently. However, I was so fast that I fell on the concrete and got a road rash on my palm. Totally worth it. 
11. Who is the most interesting person you know?
The Milverine is a very interesting man. But not as interesting as Charlie Larson. Or as ripped. 
12. If you could instantly become an expert in any subject, which would it be?
French! I have always wanted to learn the language and travel there for a month!
13. What totally outrageous luxury would you love to have in the office?
Community air fryer so we can fry air as a community. 
14. What is the best era/decade of music?
The late 60s changed the game for American popular music but I love the 2000s-2010s. Taio Cruz is an icon. 
15. If you woke up as your 16-year-old self tomorrow, what would you do?
Tell him to have fun, work hard and cherish the times he has with his friends! Also invest in GameStop in early 2021 and then dump it once it hits $437 a share. 
16. What sports did you play growing up?
I played baseball, basketball and I was a liability on the football field. 
17. Is Die-Hard a Christmas movie?
Die Hard is most definitely a Christmas movie. 
18. What is your favorite part about your job?
Being able to create and capture big moments of our players and fans!
19. What is your go-to coffee order?
A lot of cream with a little coffee.  
20. What is your biggest pet peeve?
 Being told I’m a loud chewer. I deny these baseless accusations.
