What is something that few people know about you?

       I enjoy being active by surfing, playing basketball, and training for half marathons.  I also stick to a diet that consists mostly of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats.

       Both. I love asking questions and getting to know people.  At the same time, I also like to share about my life and encourage others with positive and uplifting words.
