1. Who was your favorite player? Did you pattern your game after his?
Kenny Lofton has always been my favorite player and I try to pattern my game after him, but I don't have all the tools he does.

2. What is your fondest memory from playing baseball?
My favorite memory was during my freshman year of college. It was my birthday and I hit a home run in the Junior College World Series to lead us to a victory!

3. What are your baseball superstitions?
I have a couple things I'm superstitious about. I start off by dressing the same way before every game and I never wear batting gloves during the game. Whenever I get a hit, the next time up, I try to do everything in the same exact way as I did when I got the hit.

4. What's the best piece of advice you have ever received? Who was it from?
My parents always showed me this verse out of the Bible. It comes from Ecclesiastics 7:14 and it says, "When times are good be happy; but when times are bad, consider that God has made one as well as the other."

5. If you could go to dinner with anyone, who would it be?
I would definitely go to dinner with my wife Amber because she means the world to me and I love to spend any free time that I have with her.

6. What has been your favorite class at OU? Why?
I loved my Experiencing Music class because it reminds me of grade school music class.

7. What was the last book that you read that was not for a class?
I don't think I have ever in my life read a book that was not for a class!

8. What is your favorite article of clothing?
I have this old, ragged shirt that I wear all the time that says, "Trust me, I'm a lawyer." It's the all-time greatest shirt!

9. Who is your favorite non-baseball professional sports team?
My favorite professional team is the Los Angeles Sparks, a WNBA team. Many people don't know this but my older sister Wendy plays for them. I am so proud of her and everything she has accomplished.

10. What is your favorite fast food restaurant and what do you order there?
I love Burger King! You can not beat the Whopper when you are in a hurry and want something delicious!
