Hometown:  Haughton, LA

“I love playing all sports.  Golf, football, baseball, basketball.  I play basketball the most but I’ve never been very good.  I like to play any sport.”

Favorite thing about your job:  “I like being in control and always having something new to do.  I never really know what to expect until I get to work.  I also like a fast-paced environment, although it seems to be slowing down, or maybe I’m just getting faster.” 

Your inspiration:  “First of all I say Jesus..But also my mom, dad and especially my brother.” 

Your family: Dad–Terry, Mom–Vicki, Brother–Shawn…And the 18 year old blind, deaf, toothless dog Kato.

Anything people might be surprised to learn about you: “I am deathly afraid of spiders.  I once burned a pair of shoes with a blow torch because a spider had made a nest in them.”

Favorite food:  “I’m a fan of all food, but my favorite would have to be Mexican.”

Favorite saying:  “Second place is the first loser.”  (I obviously hate to lose at anything)“My biggest challege was trying to learn spanish.  I took three semesters of it and still can’t say or read a sentence.  It’s complete gibberish to me.  It’s a shame because I would really like to be able to speak a second language.”

Fantasy job:  “I think owning a catamaran in Hawaii that takes tourists out snorkeling every morning would be the perfect job.  I think I would work about 5 hours each day and spend the rest of the day lying around relaxing.  Then I would make Sparky clean my boat.”

Music: Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, The Eagles, The Beatles.  This is about all I ever listen to in my iPod.
