What was the most valuable lesson you learned as a child, and how has it influenced your life today?
The value of being part of a multi-cultural community. I try to keep it, even though it's more difficult in Utah.
What was your favorite hobby or extracurricular activity as a child, and did you pursue it further later in life?
All sports and reading. I was able to play sports into my late 40's and I love to still read.
What was your favorite meal or dish that your family would make, and do you still enjoy it today?
We did not have any good cooks in my family, so it was either NY pizza or Chinese take-out.
What was the most challenging experience you faced as a child, and how did you overcome it?
In my neighborhood you either played sports or did drugs. I used sports to get out of the environment and go to college.
What advice would you give to your younger self, based on what you've learned throughout your life so far?
Life is always changing so do not be afraid to try new things and take on new challenges.
