Have a personal quote?
People first, then money, then things - Suze Orman
Pick one word to describe yourself and tell why it describes you so well.
Perfectionist! I always strive for perfection no matter what I am doing; work or play.
What do you like most about Student Savvy? (be honest)
Being that I am a relatively young guy, in my 20’s, Student Savvy really appeals to me. When I was in school just a few years back it was tough to get information on finances, etc. But with Student Savvy things are a bit simpler.
What is the best advice you've ever received?
"Good things happen to those who work hard." I try to incorporate this into every facet of my life.
What is your best money saving secret/technique? (c'mon, everyone has at least one)
My best money saving technique is to put the funds where I cannot see them. If I don’t see the money, I won’t spend the money.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Ten years from now I hope to be a best selling author living in Pittsburgh half the year, and on the water the other half.
What is your greatest athletic achievement?
My greatest athletic achievement was beating cancer while in college, and finally getting back on the basketball court after a couple of years off.
What is your greatest fear?
Dying young!
You have 2 hours to kill. What are you going to do?
Probably try to make money in one way, shape, or form.
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
Even though I have already been to Hawaii, I would love to go back and explore all of the islands.
You're stuck on a deserted island. What is one possession you couldn't live without?
There is no way I could get by without my laptop computer. It rules my life!
What is your favorite sport and favorite team?
I love West Virginia University football. I have written a book on the team, and never miss a game!
