Do you do a lot of traveling? I don’t, however, I enjoy traveling and would like to do much more. I look at traveling to new places as sort of an adventure.
What is your favorite vacation spot and why? Rome, Italy. I have a deep love of all things Classical Antiquity and specifically Roman history. Their art, architecture, mythology and history are extremely fascinating to me. I spent one week in Rome and would love to return!
Name something on your bucket list. Visit the Louvre
Who is your favorite superhero and why? Thor. We look a lot alike — people say he is my doppelgänger.

Name one of your hobbies? I was not an athlete in school but I got into CrossFit six years ago and it has quickly become my favorite hobby. I enjoy anything that gets my heart rate elevated. I find that in those moments I experience the truest form of freedom from all stress (because all I can focus on is breathing).

What is one thing you avoid like the plague? Crowded places.
Favorite food? Any authentic Mexican restaurant.
Favorite quote? “The only thing I know is that I know nothing” and “Fear is self-imposed, meaning it doesn’t exist. You create it, you can destroy it”.
