What are your other passions?* Skydiving, mountaineering and restoring/collecting vintage stuff.

If you were to be written about in the local paper what would the headline say?*Man grows gills!

If you could trade places with any person or fictional character for a week with whom would it be?*Moses. It would be pretty cool to be able to part the Red Sea.

What would I find in your refrigerator right now?*Stacks of ice tubes for making fruit shakes. It’s a group favorite after a long day of diving.
