A: It's so hard to pick one, but a category of experiences I would consider to be among the greatest would be creating music with large groups and sharing in that moment of performance with the musicians and the audience. There's nothing like it.
A: I was raised mormon, and I'm an Army vet. I also sing and play piano, f horn, and tenor horn.
A: The thing I enjoy most about myself is my curiosity. It's opened every door in my life that's resulted in a positive outcome or personal connection. I've never regretted engaging curiously in any situation (within reason, of course)
A: Well I am a 6'3" 265lbs black man with a septum piercing and a laugh that could shake a house, so... a lot?
A: I make sure that everyone I encounter in my life feels seen and valued by me, whether it's a smile, some eye contact, or showing genuine curiosity in their experience. I know the impact that such acts have had on me, and I feel responsible to those who have helped me to pay it forward.
A: I would want them to know that I'm incapable of insincerity, and I'm proud of it. I spent so long curating the man I've become; why would I hide any part of him?
A: I would tell you that I believe that we are the universe's way of experiencing and understanding itself, and so it's my inherent responsibility to see, understand, and experience as much of it as I can, especially human connection (as it is easily the most fascinating thing in the known universe, I'm convinced). I'd also probably go on a tangent about why Sam is the best Lord of the Rings character 😜
A: 1) My Music (Playing and Listening)
2) My Calendar (Keeping my life organized keeps me sane)
3) My iPad (It facilitates most my creative endeavors)
4) My Bed (For both the exciting(😈) and mundane)
5) The Gym (It's one of the few places I can think about only 1 fucking thing)
A: I travel when the opportunity comes, and my partners pull it out of me. At my core though the comfort of home is hard to compete with. That said, there is a lot of world to see...
A: Playing piano, singing, horn, writing, reading, woodburning, making cocktails
A: Mindful eating and strength training 6 days a week. I'm maintain the "definitely lifts weights but rarely says no to a cookie" kinda look.
A: Curious men who have a drive for self improvement and know what they want
A: I'm incapable of insincerity
A: Gym, pickeball, swimming, hiking, practicing music, making cocktails, seeing live music, spending time in the woods, reading, dungeons and dragons
A: A close tie between being a terrible liar and stubborn when it comes to my values
A: The pillars I organize my life around are quality time with my chosen family, fostering artistic expression, building community, and personal progression. Date nights with my partners, the gym, rehearsals, and therapy are mainstays. I fill in the rest where I can.
