Favorite SNC College Memory: I loved it when we’d appear at other college invitational concerts for the first time, where no one had ever heard us before. My favorite in particular was at University of Michigan.

Favorite Place You’ve Travelled: One place I never get tired of is Snowmass/Aspen, Colorado.

Favorite Things in General:

What Magazines/Periodicals do you read consistently? I read the news online daily, but the only actual magazines I subscribe to are Car&Driver, and Automobile Magazine.

Name Your Top 5 Favorite:
Foods: I like simple foods: steak, potatoes, chicken, pizza, burgers, salads, the easy stuff. I do like Chinese food, Mexican food, and Italian dishes like chicken parmesan, but I've never been a fan of seafood. I love fresh fruit, and I do have a weakness for chocolate.

Books: I read occasionally, but I think because I was forced to read so much in school, I stopped seeing reading as relaxing. I own plenty of books, most of which I’ve never read, either because I’m too busy or they never caught my interest.

Movies: I love movies, I even have a projector screen in my condo, but it’s hard to pick all-time favorite movies. If I wasn’t in music, I’d want to be working in movies, behind the camera.

Television: Scrubs, Flight Of The Conchords, Entourage, 30 Rock, Top Gear, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, SNL, The Office, and there is always something interesting on Discovery/History/TLC/A&E

Songs: “#41” by Dave Matthews Band, “The Luckiest” by Ben Folds, “Mercy Street” by Peter Gabriel, "America" by Paul Simon, “And It Stoned Me” by Van Morrison, and almost every bass line by Jamiroquai.
