What is your favorite restaurant and why?

My favorite restaurant is called Sweet Tomatoes and it’s an all-you-can-eat soup and salad buffet. As much I enjoy meat and bacon and all that stuff I think people undervalue the essentials of vegetables. Unfortunately there’s none in Indiana.

If you could travel anywhere, where be and why?

The Amazon. It’s an untouched environment, unexplored, there’s still much more to be discovered out there.

What do you do in your spare time?

Fishing, gardening and playing games on the computer.

Do you have a pet?

I have two pets. They’re both cats – one is named Isafral, the other is Frosto.

What do you like most about your community?

There are a lot of events in the community, things to do, opportunities for people to get out and help each other … There a lot of people that just go around and help each other out.
