| Interests | Love spending time with my wife, Christine (married on 6/15/2008) and our Golden Retriever. We really enjoy being outside and exploring our town, Newport (the "City by the Sea"). I try to maintain a balance between personal/work/social life so when I'm not involved in basketball I enjoy playing my guitar, exploring trails and new beaches, and learning & growing! We also travel a lot- Christine's family lives in Germany so at least once a year we take a trip over there. In addition to foreign countries (Fiji, Bermuda, France, Germany, Holland, France, Italy) we also enjoy exploring the USA (visited 29 states). |
| Favorite movies | The nerd in me loves superhero/comic movies, but also comedies (Dumb & Dumber) and horror movies. |
| Favorite music | Little bit of everything- classic rock (Pink Floyd, The Doors, The Beatles,The Who, CSNY), folk rock (Fleet Foxes), Frank Sinatra & Tony Bennett, and some new stuff (Coldplay, Kings of Leon, Jack Johnson). |
| Favorite books | Easy: "UCLA Offense" by John Wooden. |
