Do you have any superstitions when preparing for a game?
• "I cannot watch a soccer game on TV before playing an actual game because I believe I will make similar if not the same mistake the defender on TV did."
Have you ever danced in the rain?
• "Most definitely! Rain is a good thing especially on a hot summer's day when it's all you can think about on the field because you feel like you are melting from the sun."
Best compliment you ever received
• "I don't remember who but someone remarked that I'm good at everything, and in response I told them that I push myself to do my best in whatever I am doing no matter how small or how big; therefore, it seems like I am 'good at everything.'"
What is your perfect pizza?
• "As long as it's not too spicy, any pizza is good! My perfect pizza ranges from the classic pepperoni to Mellow Mushroom's Mighty Meaty. Honestly, I love food in general so it's hard to pick my one perfect pizza."
What did you do for your last birthday?
• "I spent it traveling back from Hawai'i with my family."
Superman or Batman?
• "To be determined. I have to do some movie research to answer that one."
If you could spend the day with any celebrity, who would it be?
• "Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson! I am a huge 'Fast and Furious' fan and I feel the Rock is the most 'real' in comparison to most other celebrities."
Mountains or beach?
• "Both! I enjoy the sunshine and a great view."
What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?
• "During one of my travels, my family and I were at a restaurant where my brother ordered calamari. I tried it of course."
Which is your favorite season? Why?
• "I love them all for their own reasons. Summer for the sun, fall for the leaves, winter for the snow and spring because of the flowers."
If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which would you choose?
• "'Castle'."
What is your dream vacation?
• "Anything and everything away from big cities. I enjoy being able to sit somewhere and take in my surroundings. Just me and nature."
Name the three best things about you.
• "Positive attitude, work ethic and dependability."
What was your favorite toy growing up?
• "We had a four-wheeled peddle cart. I had so much fun with my brother and my neighbors, especially in the snow! I was the biggest of the four of us at that time so I would always do all of the peddling but I loved every second."
What would you do if you were invisible for a day?
• "I would eat at every restaurant in Chattanooga without anyone knowing and then I would just enjoy the fact that I am invisible."
What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
• "I can always go for coffee and chocolate something but I am an ice cream super fan so I love pretty much every flavor."
If you could only eat three foods for the rest of your life, what would they be?
• "My mom's rice stuff, my mom's mashed potatoes, and ice cream (any and all flavors)."
