Who has had the greatest influence on your life?
My mom has had the greatest influence on my life. My mom did a great job of raising three boys by herself, after my dad passed away, and I wouldn't be where I am without her. She has encouraged and supported me in anything I've done, and I've learned a lot from her example of love and hard work.
Where do you hang out in Los Angeles?
I love to go to the beach on a Saturday afternoon and just relax. There's always good surf and sun, plus I like to eat at Moe's BBQ on Main Street. That's some good times right there! I am also a fan of downtown Disneyland and frequently use my season pass at the main park. (It is the happiest place on earth after all :)
What was the greatest lesson you learned in college?
Less is more. When I first began college I felt a little in over my head because I was trying to do everything for everyone, all the time. After burning out enough times I realized it's better to only do a few things really well rather than do everything poorly.
