I collect crosses.  I don’t have a favorite but every time I see one, it reminds me of what true sacrifice really means.  You can always see a cross around my neck or hanging from my mirror.  It symbolizes my faith, trust and love for Christ and it gives meaning to my life.

What is something few people know about you?

If I had to pick one thing, I would say very few people know my true physical strength.  I love to go the extra mile in the gym, when I train or when I am faced with a tough obstacle.  I think my perseverance has made me a stronger person both physically and mentally.

What do you do to stay healthy?

I maintain a healthy diet, drink lots of water, weight train 4 days a week and I do some form of cardio 5 days a week.  My job involves daily physical activity so I am constantly staying active.  Just as important, I have a daily communion with God to spiritually feed my soul.

Are you a good listener or a good talker?

To be a good communicator, you have to be a good listener and speaker.  I am blessed with both because I am always willing to lend an ear and I love to talk and give advice especially if I can provide words of encouragement.

Name 3 characteristics you look for in a friend?

I always try to look for the best in others and build a friendship based on honesty, dependability and selflessness.   I think you should be able to trust a friend to be honest at the most dire times, to be dependable when you are in need and to be unselfish.  You get out of a friendship what you put in and these qualities are what I look for and what I strive to offer in return
