What do you like most about being a DJ?

Do you have a favorite movie or TV show?

“I have a bunch of favorite movies. I am a huge fan of the Princess Bride. I don’t know if it is the favorite, but it is high up there. As for TV, I don’t know if I have a favorite TV show. I like to binge watch a lot of different stuff.”

Do you have a favorite meal?

“I try not to eat a whole lot because I am nutrition conscious, but pizza is a weakness. In terms of snack food Doritos are a weakness.”

Do you have any pet peeves?

“I used to have a bunch when I actually used to teach. When people interrupt and don’t let you finish a thought.”

What do you like to do on the weekends?

“Mainly just stuff with family. Hanging out with family and friends.”

What is your favorite sport?

“I was a baseball player growing up, so I love baseball. I played that all the way through high school. I then played rugby in college. I don’t play that anymore because I’m not tough enough. I tried to be the little quick guy that didn’t get hit very often, sometimes it worked, other times it did not. I loved playing rugby, but that is a tough sport to play once you get old.”

Do you have a favorite vacation spot?

“Anything outdoorsy is perfect.  I am not much of a beach person because I get antsy after about fifteen minutes. If you gave me my pick though, anything in the mountains is ideal. I like hiking, mountain biking and staying active on vacations.”

If you could go to dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would you go with?

“One would probably be Lou Gehrig. I was a huge fan of the old Yankees growing up. He was the guy that batted behind Babe Ruth and it would be amazing to ask him how that was and even how his battle with ALS was.”
