When you have downtime, how do you spend it?
Wine tasting, pool side with a cold Hefeweizen beer catching some quality rays, watching a good movie or sit-com or BBQing with family and friends.

Tell us two lies and a truth about yourself…keep them guessing!
1.) My skydiving team and I lived on the edge. My dare, I had to cut away from my primary chute just to test my secondary chute. It opened and what a rush.

2.) While in the Navy, coming back from the Philippines (West Pac Tour) the crew was very bored, so my friend and I jumped overboard. They turned the ship around so fast, it blew the engine’s and we were dead in the water for 2 days and had to be towed in.

3.) While painting a second floor balcony in college, I fell straight back off the ladder and crushed my L7 disk. I was paralized for 2 months from the chest down. I had to learn how to walk all over agian.
