TEN QUESTIONS

From The Proust Questionnaire

ONE

WHAT IS YOUR IDEA OF PERFECT HAPPINESS? A day at my ranch in Montana with my family, with no technology hiking, fishing, skiing or just being out in nature. Ideally, seeing some wildlife!

TWO

WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST FEAR? It already happened—losing one of my parents at a young age, my mother, who was the greatest love of my life.

THREE

WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU MOST DEPLORE IN YOURSELF? I don’t deplore any traits about myself. “Bad” traits or things we may want to change about ourselves I consider to all be a piece of the pie that makes me, me.

FOUR

WHAT IS THE TRAIT YOU MOST DEPLORE IN OTHERS? Lack of selfawareness and the current excess of selfishness we seem to have in the world these days.

FIVE WHICH WORDS OR PHRASES DO YOU MOST OVERUSE? “I saw a TikTok…”

SIX WHO IS YOUR HERO OF FICTION? Harry Potter.

SEVEN WHICH TALENT WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE? Playing guitar professionally.

EIGHT

IF YOU WERE TO DIE AND COME BACK AS A PERSON OR A THING, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A professional football player. I already have my touchdown dance nailed.

NINE

WHAT IS YOUR MOST TREASURED POSSESSION? My dog, Gibbon.

TEN

WHAT IS YOUR MOST MARKED CHARACTERISTIC? Open and honest communication.

Perfect happiness to me is being surrounded by the people I love the most — friends, family, work colleagues who have become my family. It’s also having the perfect balance in my life with self-care, work, travel and just enjoying life each day. I’m a pretty simple person and don’t need much to be happy.
