TEN QUESTIONS WITH “B”
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
“Think before you speak.”
What’s one thing on your bucket list you’ve yet to accomplish?
I’m a big sports person, so I want to try to get every Major League Baseball Stadium. I’ve been to about 10 or so. Wrigley Field in Chicago was my favorite I’ve visited so far, but I really want to get to Fenway Park in Boston.
What’s the most rewarding thing about working at CSM Production?
I don’t do the same thing every day — we’re building a lot, and a lot of it is truly “one of a kind.” Seeing those things come to life is the most rewarding aspect to me.
Are you an “early bird” or a “night owl?”
Early bird. My alarm goes off at 6:00am every morning.
If you could have dinner with any three people - living, dead, or fictional. Who are you having dinner with?
Mike Krzyzewski, Bobby Knight, and Jeff Gordon. The reason I picked those is because those people have all had huge impacts on their sports and would have great stories to tell.
What’s your favorite kind of sandwich?
I like a good ole’ fried bologna sandwich. A good thick piece of fried bologna. Sometimes I like a little mayo on it or a little mustard, burned a little bit. I like it on a bun instead of bread.
If you were an olympic athlete, which sport would you want to compete in?
Luge would be pretty cool.
When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a professional baseball player. I played second base growing up.
If you were going to sail around the world, what would you name your boat?
Diddy’s Raft — Everybody calls me B.Diddy.
If you were stranded on a desert island, and could only bring three things (one can’t be a boat), what would you bring?
I’d bring a case of Natural Light….actually I’d bring three cases of Natural Light and call it good.
