What is something interesting that people may not know about you?
One time I escaped a forest fire in Wyoming on horseback in the dead of night. Wouldn’t recommend.

What has been the best meal of your life?
Pizza from Certaldo, a little town in Italy a group of friends and I found by accident. We took a train aimlessly through Tuscany, got off at the first place that looked interesting, and ended up having our lives changed by pizza.
