| Who was your childhood
idol? Why? |
My great grandmother… She was
a realistic super hero with mental strength out of this world who
could battle anything that came her way… she lived to be 105. |
| What are your lifetime
aspirations? |
I want to start my own Engineering
company in about 10 years, retire in my late 40’s and travel
the world living blissfully off my hard earned millions. I would like
to start a “Positive Role Model” program in Charlottesville
for the youth to teach them about the importance of Education and
Abstinence and maybe get a scholarship fund going. |
| What is your favorite
sports memory? |
I have two…the first would be
breaking the high school record for the most goals scored in one season,
and the other would be when I played soccer for Old Dominion University.
I was able to manage being a single parent, full-time student, and
playing soccer all at the same time. It was a dream come true. |
| If you could have
a conversation with anyone dead or alive, who? Why? |
Martin Luther King Jr. I would ask
him how one man with one voice could be heard all over and remembered
for so long. |
| Who is your biggest
supporter? |
I don’t have just one…
my entire family has supported me and cheered me on since day one.
But I will say my son has been the loudest voice in my fan club always
making sure I get to practice. |
