The perfect snack food? My wife's Buffalo Chicken Dip. I have one word to say about it: UNBELIEVABLE! 

The perfect vacation location? Maui: Nothing says relaxation like sitting on a beach in a tropical paradise.

The perfect outdoor activity? Anything athletic: Football, Softball, Golf…I may not be that good, but it is nice to get out and run around.

The perfect soft drink? Coca-Cola Classic

The perfect party game? Rock Band for Wii.

Your favorite books (other than the Bible)? Uncommon and Quiet Strength by Tony Dungy

Your favorite movies? Top 3: Braveheart, The Last of the Mohicans, and Glory

Your favorite TV shows? Just about anything ESPN, Parenthood, and American Idol (during the auditions that is)

Your favorite sports team? Steelers, Penguins, and the Pitt Panthers

Your favorite Singers/Bands? I like a little bit of this and a little bit of that when it comes to music…nothing relieves the stress of driving on the Parkway like some good old classical music. Mix a little classical with a tad of Rock-n-Roll and you get Bohemian Rhapsody…best of both worlds!

Your favorite breakfast cereal? I am not a big cereal eater, but I’d probably go with Pops…gotta love a good bowl of sugar!

Your top 3 heroes (other than Jesus)? Those that risk their lives for others, those that give their best even in the toughest of predicaments, my dad…and of course, Forrest Gump.

Your top 3 spiritual gifts? Preaching, Teaching, Leadership

Your life verse? James 1:22: "Do not merely listen to the Word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."
