Use five adjectives to describe yourself:
Fun, thrill seeker, honest, caring, outgoing.
What are you passionate about? (Tell us about a special talent/skill that you have or a cause you are active in.)
I am very passionate about music. Ever since I was a young child who would ask his mother to play classical music for him, I have known that music would be a part of my life forever. I find that music is one thing that can transcend races, religion, countries, and so many other things. I have even had the pleasure of working for a radio station here in Seattle, where I was able to be a member of a highly recognized morning show. Through that experience, I found a new side of the world of music. I was able to see how music affects so many people, how artists can make some people cry and other people angry, but either way it evokes emotion. Music is an amazing thing that has made a huge difference in my life and I know it will continue to do so for me and many other people for our entire lives.
When you were 5, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I actually wanted to be an actor and a model. I loved being in front of the camera and being the center of attention. My parents have so many photos and videos of me and I was never camera shy. I even got my mom to finally start taking me to auditions to get into acting and modeling. Ever since then I have still had the ambition to make it and I know that my time will come when the time is right.
What artist/song would your friends be most surprised to find on your mp3 player?
Probably all the songs I have downloaded that were on American Idol. That show has been a guilty pleasure of mine ever since season 1 and I have almost every song.
What made you laugh recently?
Recently I was out at my friends house and she was going to leave and didn't have her shoes on. I offered to give a piggy back ride and she accepted. Her car was parked on the other side of this sized dirt hill and we made it fine going up the hill, but on our way down gravity took place and down we went. Luckily I saved her and my face and I only got a couple of scratches on my arm and knee. Though there was a little bit of injury to me, we thought it was the funniest thing ever; I mean who get's hurt giving a piggy back ride. We were having so much fun before it happened too. We were like little kids just not caring and having so much fun. I really wish that someone had caught it on video also because it had to of been a funny site!
If you could be exceptionally rich, exceptionally gorgeous, or exceptionally brilliant, which would you choose, and why?
Though all of these qualities are very desirable, I think that if I was exceptionally brilliant and well educated, I would also feel gorgeous and rich. Being rich is not always about money and a gorgeous person without a brain loses that beauty they physically have. With a good head on your shoulders you can attain both riches and beauty that starts on the inside and eventually is portrayed on the outside.
If a story about you was featured on the evening news, what would the headline be?
"Local Man Gives Back to Community" I believe so much in giving back to the community and try to do so as much as possible. Whether it is helping clean up a park, helping raise money for a local hospital, or just picking up a piece of trash outside my house, everything you give back to your community makes a difference.
What is your favorite purchase made in the last 6 months?
I would have to say that my favorite purchase has been the purchase of my plasma television. I love cool and new technology and the reason I was able to make this purchase was by giving my time to go to Louisiana the year before to assist in Hurricane relief after Hurricane Gustave and during Ike. So by doing something that helped out a lot of people I was able to do something cool for myself also.
What reality TV show do you think you'd have the best shot of winning, and why?
I would have to say Big Brother. I have watched that show since season 1 and I can call the game usually by week 3. I know the strategies and I am good at making friends and keeping people where I need them. This show is all about strategy and I am someone who makes a plan and a backup for just about everything I do.
How has clear skin helped you to achieve your goals?
Well in a lot of my jobs and really in life, feeling good about the way you look gives you the confidence to do just about anything. I have gone through times when my acne has held me back and gotten me down, but once I was able to get rid of my acne my confidence went way up and I felt like I could do anything. Looks aren't always the most important thing in life, it is how you feel about yourself and having clear skin has made feel so good about myself. So all in all, having clear skin has helped give me the confidence to achieve every goal I have had.
