Do you have a memory that’s linked to a smell? Yeah I do.  There was time when I was younger around 10 or 11 years when my sister and I would stay at our mother’s house during the weekends.  On Saturday nights, I would take the responsibility of cooking dinner for us.  Normally it was…

What fear have you conquered? I would say it’s being around people and speaking with confidence around them. I consider myself an introvert.  I like to be by myself and quite frankly I am a homebody.  I don’t even have a television in my apartment and I enjoy reading.  When it comes to being around…

What is your preferred mode of travel? Plane. By far and above the other choices. I can cover the most distance in a short amount of time. However, I would ask as a corollary, “Where’s the destination?”

What is the most memorable gift that you have received? This may sound corny but I got a weighted jump rope from an ex-girlfriend for Christmas. I was obsessed with trying to dunk at the time. It was a gift that really satisfied a desire of mine. The rope definitely helped me with my hops…

How far back in your family tree can you go? I have a lot relatives on both sides of the family. My grandfather on my mom’s side was one of 10+ siblings in South Carolina. (I still have to figure out the exact number.). My dad is one of 5 or 6 siblings. But as…
