QUESTION: What is the best place you've ever visited?
ANSWER: Tough one - I've been to quite a few nice spots. But if I have to narrow it down I'd say Inn of the Mountain Gods in New Mexico or Pebble Beach Golf Course in California - although there's always Cabo San Lucas in Mexico and the autobahn near Stuttgart, Germany. It would be a rather large list.
 
QUESTION: How fast would you be willing to go in a car you were driving? Someone else was driving?
ANSWER: As fast as the car will go. I've been 180+ on a motorcycle and in a car - and it's a rush. If someone else is driving it really depends on the person. I've been in the car with my wife driving 120+ mph and I was fine with that, sort of.
 
QUESTION: If you could be a fictional character, who would it be?
ANSWER: Spiderman comes to mind. I'd love to be able to swing from building to building and shoot webs at people I didn't care for.
 
QUESTION: If today was your last day on earth, how would you spend it?
ANSWER: Playing soccer with my wife and kids followed by a meal of beef tips and gravy over rice.
 
QUESTION: If you could be invisible for one day and could go anywhere without being detected, where would you go?
ANSWER: A Pentagon war briefing room full of four star generals or to the Supreme Court to hear them discuss a case behind closed doors.
 
QUESTION: If you could travel through time, what year would you visit?
ANSWER: Probably 1955. Good year for cars, music, etc.
 
QUESTION: If you could trade jobs with anyone in the world, who would you trade jobs with?
ANSWER: Steve Jobs, no pun intended. He runs Apple and Pixar - it doesn't get much better than that as far as I'm concerned.

QUESTION: If you could be a fictional character, who would it be?

QUESTION: If today was your last day on earth, how would you spend it?
ANSWER: I would definitely spend it taking my kids to places they’d never been, that way they would have something phenomenal to remember me by.
 
QUESTION: If you could be invisible for one day and could go anywhere without being detected, where would you go?
