WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE FOOD TO TREAT YOURSELF TO AFTER A BUSY WEEK?
We just had it last night, we went to this seafood place and I had po boy sandwich. I love seafood, everyone knows that.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?
When I was in high school, I wanted to be a track star. I wanted to be in the Olympics. But instead, I became a dad and grandpa.
WHAT’S A SKILL YOU’VE DEVELOPED (OR IMPROVED) SINCE JOINING THE TEAM?
Patience. In this job, I have to learn more and more patience because everyone is different in their own special way.
IF YOU COULD HAVE DINNER WITH ANY HISTORICAL FIGURE, WHO WOULD IT BE?
There are so many. I would have to say my dad, he’s passed now. I love my dad. He had a big influence on my life and I still use everything he taught me to this day. He was a real good man.
IF YOUR FRIENDS HAD TO DESCRIBE YOU IN 3 WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY SAY?
Crazy as hell.
WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY BUT HAVEN’T YET?
I’ve pretty much done everything I’ve wanted to do. I’m enjoying life. The only responsibility I have in life is me, finally. It’s giving me an opportunity to enjoy life and find out who I am. It feels like for the first time I am free.
WHAT’S SOMETHING YOU’RE CURRENTLY LEARNING OR TRYING TO IMPROVE?
Back in the day, I used to go to church a lot, but since I’m out of town so much, it’s hard. I try to watch it on TV on Sundays. Without the consistency of religion, I start rethinking things and sink back into bad habits. Instead of positive thinking, I'm doing negative.
WHAT’S THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER RECEIVED?
Never give up. And I never give up, I try to be number one in everything. I don’t want to be last, I want to be the best. That's why I try to stay ahead in everything.
