1. What are the three things you can never be without while traveling?
A: iPod, good book, Bible.

2. If you didn’t play professional soccer, what other profession would you want to try – and why?
A: I think it would be fun to open a coffee shop or write books, but I plan to be a coach one day. I enjoy teaching and seeing results and changes in athletes as they grow in their soccer experiences. The success that my players have are fulfilling to me.

3. What’s your perfect day off?
A: Fancy breakfast, quality time at a coffee shop, and something active outdoors like hiking or rock climbing.

4. What famous person most inspires you and why?
A: People that inspire me are the ones who don't get credit, who aren't well know. The people you don't see on a stage or a field are the ones that put the most into my life, that inspire me to work hard, play well, and love God.

5. If you had a dinner party, who are the four people you would invite (can be living or dead)?
A: My family because I don't get to see them much anymore.

6. If there were one adjective to describe you, what would it be?
A: Goofy

7. What’s on your workout / pre-game iPod playlist?
