If I could switch places with someone: I'm blessed with an amazing life and love my work and family. I wouldn't want to switch places with anyone, but there are many people who I admire and respect. They inspire me to strive to reach my goals.
Role model/hero: My mother is my role model and my father is my hero.
What are you passionate about? Helping actors and performers discover their dreams. Equal rights and equality for all.

People would be surprised to learn: I'm a pretty quiet person when I'm not working and I have a deep faith in God.

Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: Because of our size difference, the physical challenges may be our Team's biggest hurdles.
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race (other than winning one million bucks)? It will be a dream come true for both of us to run the Race together. It will be an amazing opportunity to see and discover parts of the world I would never be able to experience.
