Favorite inspirational quote: "Those times when you get up early and you work hard. Those times you stay up late and you work hard. Those times when you don't feel like working. You're too tired. You don't want to push yourself, but you do it anyways. That is actually the dream. That is the dream. It is not the destination, it is the journey. Your dreams won't come true, something greater will." - Kobe Bryant
Favorite song to run to: "Lose Yourself" - Eminem
