My life motto: LIVE
Three people I'd like to have dinner with: my Dad (who I’ll have dinner with one day), Richard Dawkins and John Mayer
An interesting fact about me: I listen to Dr. Laura Schlessinger. Every day. Sirius Radio. On my phone and in my car.
My heros: Jesus the Christ and anyone else who can love unconditionally…giving, selfless people who defend the weak and the poor and put others before themselves. I’m not there yet.
