Interview

• Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
  The best experience I've ever had was the day I successfully completed my research thesis. Two long years were culminated into one 30 minute presentation. It was the greatest experience to have my friends and supporters all there as I wowed my advisory committee.
• What do you do for fun?
  Fun for me is going out to dinner, dancing, or maybe a nice movie. I also enjoy horseback riding, I can enjoy anything with the right company.
• What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
  I love to read, write out my plans, and take pictures. I really like photography and traveling as well. Outside of that I like to workout and play sports with friends.
• If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
  Personally: I care a lot about the people in life. I will be the first one there when they need me. Text them, call them, put myself on the back burner to help them. I want to see everyone who's in my life succeed.
• If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
  I would describe myself as a true Southern gentleman. I was raised in deep east Texas with a traditional family and farm. I've had the privilege to get an advanced degree from one of the best colleges in the United States. I would also tell you how I want to travel to Spain, France, Egypt, Brazil, Austria, Switzerland, and Australia. You'd find out that I had an appreciation for art, dance, music, and theater. How I can geek out over genetics and reproduction, crossbreeding, and the challenge of feeding the world's population in 2050. You'd also probably learn a little bit about animal science, parsitology (sounds sexy right), and how to better take care of your pets. I dabble into a lot of different things and enjoy them all.
• What should others absolutely know about you?
  Others should know that I am definitely an unexpected mixture of things. I do not fit into any type of schema that someone may have. I love to try new things and to interact with different types of people and situations.
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  I really like how I am so goal and achievement oriented. It seems that I am always planning, thinking, and dreaming of what I should do or where I should go next. I really want to enjoy this life and to give my best in everything that I do.
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  I'm a pretty simple guy so when it comes to this question I have to say that I can't live with out Sweet Tea, Seeing the stars and moon at night, my family, my faith, and a good pair of boots.
