Interview taken from the 2001 Official Yearbook

Best thing about playing at home?

"Its great to have the family around year-round. We’ve always got friends and family close by."

What’s in your cars CD player?

"Pearl Jam. Newsboys. FFH. I’m not quite up to the times musically. I'm still back in High School and College. There is also some contemporary Christian and some jazz I’m listening to. The tastes are changing."

Movie you’d like to have a part in?

"would have to be a comedy. I like the kind of

humor in ‘Naked Gun’ or ‘Airplane’"

Fast lane or slow lane?

"I’d say fast lane but my wife would say slow lane about me. She thinks I drive too slow. But I like to be able to move on the freeway; I don’t like to have anyone in front of me."

Briefcase or Backpack?

"Backpack. I’d always rather carry a backpack, but they don't like backpacks on (team) plane. I guess if I were to have one of those on the plane it would have to look dressy. Maybe I could get one made out of all leather."

Costco or Nordstrom?

"Costco. I think the question you are asking is whether I’m a penny-pincher or if I’m into fancy designer-type clothes. I do both, but I am more of a Costco type."
