  • What's your favorite type of music?

    My favorite movies are “Dead Poets Society”, “The Sound of Music”, “Midnight in Paris”, “The Wizard of Oz”, “American History X” (if you’re reading this and , however, I probably watch “The Lord of the Rings” series and the “Star Wars” series the most often.

  • What's your favorite type of food?

    My favorite type of food is Indian food and/or sushi. My favorite meal is a good spicy Indian curry with mango or mint chutney and garlic naan. In Dubai, there’s a place called Ravi’s that served the best Indian/Pakistani food I’ve ever had!

    My favorite sport is American Football and my favorite team is the University of Michigan Wolverines. My dad was in the Michigan marching band and I’ve watched all their games since I can remember.

  • What's your favorite place to go in Phoenix?

    I don’t really know. I haven’t really explored the Phoenix area much.

    I always hated Christmas until my daughter was born. Now I’d say Christmas is my favorite.

  • What's an ideal day off look like to you?

    Doing absolutely nothing other than watching movies, reading, and listening to music.

  • What's your favorite vacation spot?

    I enjoy going to secluded places with good company. My favorite vacation was probably when I went to a small cabin in a big forest by a lake outside of Voronezh, Russia with a small group of friends. Word of advice though, the trains that go to smaller towns in Russia are not the safest. And that includes the police working on those trains.
