Interview

• If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
  Hmmmm, I'm a pretty open book. If you wanna know something just ask. Ill tell you or i will, most likely i'll tell you lol
• Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
  The only thing i've done and NEEEEED to do again is skydiving.
  
  IT WAS AMAZING! The feeling of rushing towards the group then suddenly you're lazily gliding through clouds and over fields just taking ion the scenery enjoying this beautiful descension.
• What are your greatest personal traits?
  I believe i can get along with just about anyone. We can have a differing views and still have a civil conversation about the subject to edify each other on our viewpoints. I love making connections with people through whatever means possible. So if i'm cooking food for a group of people, i'm going to make the best food they've tasted so they remember me and my cooking haha
• What makes you stand out from the crowd?
  I'm me!
  
  Everyone is unique and you gotta flaunt what makes you, YOU. Werk that attitude and show people how stunning you are. If they don't like you then that's their problem.
• What do you do for fun?
  I love video games, watching movies, practicing my sword work, going to the beach, snorkelling, surfing, etc... You know the typical SoCal guy stuff haha
• How do you go that ‘extra mile' in your life?
  Do everything the best you can, but never hold yourself down in a negative fashion. Just pick your head up and learn from your mistakes and just DO BETTER.
• What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
  I love my sport Buhurt. I fight in a league called HMB, that stands for Historical Medieval Battles. It's everything you've seen in the UFC but with the addition of steel armor and weapons. This takes up most of my time just because i have to train to stay up to par with my sword work and conditioning.
• What is your ‘niche’?
  My Niche??
  
  For what??? I guess message me and tell me what this question means and lets chat, haha.
• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  During my tournament season I can be traveling a lot depending on how many tournaments my team has lined up. During May I am usually over in Europe fighting, but that's only for a week or so.
  I love traveling, as cliche as that sounds i find it fun to travel with a group of people or even just another person. It's an adventure you get to share.
• What kind of diet and fitness regiment do you follow?
  Well I follow a very healthy regime of eating what I want as long as it can be kind of healthy. I work out about 5 times a week and 1 day a week is fighting practice (that's a work out in of itself), so I try to keep my body as well fueled as possible but I will not deny myself some delicious food just because its not healthy lol.
  I love me some beer and bbq though, ha
• What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
  I live my life by how I feel. I don't subscribe to anyone's notion of how i should hold my self or what i should do. I'm a gay guy in a predominately straight sport so i'm used to going against the grain.
  You can't sharpen steel on silk.
• What would you like your followers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
  I guess the only 'unique' thing about me is my sport. I do a sport called buhurt, and my league is HMB. That stands for Historical Medieval battles; its full steel melee fighting like the UFC but with swords, axes and full steel armor. I'm a knight in dented, but shiny armor ;)
• If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
  Well my life has been great and bad. I regret only a few things in life but i wouldn't change them because they made me into the person that I am today and it afforded me the opportunity to meet the people I hold dear in my life and it has set me on the amazing path i am currently on today.
• What should others absolutely know about you?
  ooohh, well.... If you must know... I don't actually think there is anything you MUST know about me. I like to be active and my sport is my life. OH! well that, i'm in love with my sport. Its called buhurt; its armored fighting similar to the UFC. I fight in a league called HMB, i've been overseas to fight in world tournaments multiple times to represent the USA.
  
  So that is my must know lol, because once you get me talking about it, i probably won't shut up about it. haha
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  Hmmm, well id have to say I like to have fun. I like being happy and having fun with people just joking, laughing and having a great time. I also enjoy that I like to relax and be super lazy when it's needed, or wanted ha. Nothing like putting on a good movie or tv show and spending some time in the kitchen.
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  My friends, my family, my sport, my dog, and music.
