When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A power tumbling Olympian. I came close!
If you weren't doing what you currently do for a living, what would you be? Probably a struggling actor roaming Hollywood looking for my big break.

Name-drop time: Who's the most famous person you've ever met (and how did that happen)? Dolly Parton is the most famous person I've met. That happened through complete determination. However, Fortune Feimster once said I was extremely handsome in Austin.
