- What’s one thing you can’t live without?
- I can’t live without my old lady Janice. She means the world to me.
- What do you do when you’re not at work (hobby, etc)?
- When I am not at work, I’m always working and if I’m not at home working, I’m here at work. I also work on cars, I go fishing, and I like to be able to buy things I’m not worried about not having the money to do so.
- If you had one superpower, what would it be?
- To bring my mother back to life.
