I'M 5' 11&3/4" TALL.
I FEEL LIKE ADDING THE EXTRA 1/4" FOR EASE IS SOMEHOW CHEATING.
I HAVE BROWN HAIR.
I LIKE DOGS AND CATS EQUALLY.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SNORKELING OR SKIING.
BUT I'VE BEEN ON SKATEBOARDS ENOUGH TO MAKE UP FOR IT.
AS A KID, MY DAD PLAYED RICHARD PRYOR ALBUMS FOR ME.
UNTIL MY MOM FOUND OUT.
MY FAVORITE TACO IS A CARNITAS TACO.
I'M AFRAID OF SNAKES AND WASPS.
I'VE PERFORMED ON STAGE WITH A BAND.
AS A SPECIAL GUEST.
FOR ONE SONG.
I WAS ANDY WARHOL FIVE YEARS IN A ROW FOR HALLOWEEN.
I USE A SONICARE TOOTHBRUSH.
IF I COULD GO INTO OUTER SPACE, I WOULD.
AS FAR AS ADVERTISING GOES, I'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO HAVE WORKED AT SOME GREAT PLACES WITH SOME GREAT PEOPLE.
