What were you like in high school? I was a quiet jock who played football, basketball and baseball.

What was the most ridiculous thing you got in trouble for in school? Playing tag at recess on the big toys at McGee Elementary. Had to sit on “The Wall” the next day which was on the side of the gym outside where you couldn’t see anyone playing at recess.

If you could meet any person, living or dead, who would it be? Edgar Allan Poe. Favorite author of all-time and I feel like it would be an interesting and amusing conversation.

What are three things on your bucket list? 1. visit Bora Bora (dream vacation) 2. visit Lambeau Field in Green Bay (Packers are my favorite team) 3. see a ghost….don’t ask….just a big time ghost guy.

How old is your oldest pair of shoes? I have a pair of Jordan Randy Moss Super Freak turf shoes from 2000. I wore them in Pasco High’s football state championship game that year.

When was the last time you had an epic faceplant or wipe-out? Last Wednesday on our ski club trip to Bluewood. Mrs. Hall got me to try snowboarding in powder snow for the first time and I took a massive faceplant/wipe-out. Luckily, it was soft and Hall said the faceplant looked awesome.
