I love improving, I love being creative and I love being my own boss.

I love improving, I love being creative and I love being my own boss.

I prize being just a normal dude that wakes up, goes to work, comes home to his wife - like, quite boring.

I'm a really big surfer, and I have also been playing a ton of volleyball on the beach on the weekends.

I was a swimmer growing up, which meant being in the pool at 5 a.m. You get used to it. You get up at 4:15 a.m.; my parents, who were amazing, they were up at 4:15 a.m. or earlier to drop me off at the pool and then go to work. I eventually stopped doing that, but the pattern remained. I like getting up really early. It feels like my time of day.

For the most part, I don't have a Facebook page; I don't Twitter.

My childhood ambition was to be an Olympic swimmer like my aunt, but that died a quick death when I discovered other sports. I swam very competitively till I was 15, then I swam for fun until I was 18. But athletics remain a very big part of my life.
