| Making The Cut |
| I found out about the O-Town auditions from T.V. Something inside me told me I needed to do this. Lou Pealman was looking for singers and dancers and I definetly wanted to be one. I found out auditions were the next day, so the next morning, I got up and I went to the audition. I just went in and did my thing. The rest is history. I think it came through to the judges that day that I had worked at training my voice. I also think there is definitely a personality issue, too. It takes a certain type of person to be able to handle what goes on in this industry, and I think they saw I would be able to do it. The whole experience of being in O-Town changed me immensely, in positive ways, mostly. It's changed the way I looked at the industry. The respect that I have for other artist has gone up a 100% from where it was before. |

| Family |
| I'm an only child, so I'm close with my parents. My mom raised me as a single parent for the first ten years of my life, then she got remarried, my step father has been a terrific role model for me, and both of them are really supportive. They knew this was what I've wanted to do my whole life and they were supportive of everything I've wanted to do from the beginning. I miss them a lot right now. |

| Living In A Fishbowl |
| I tell all guys this: You know how those fishbowls are convex? Everything the fish does inside looks bigger than it is. So every little word, every little attitude, every little discrepancy, and every little doubt gets blown up. Every little emotion is magnefied this was our lives for a while. I also feel that the cameras show only one aspect of a person's personality and people judge you on that one personality trait. I think the show sometimes depicted me as having an attitude, but they didn't show how I joke around most of the time. They don't show the total story. There are a lot of negatives to living like that, but I couldn't dwell on those negatives, because I would go crazy. It was especially difficult for me because I am an only child and I crave my solitude. So I had to focus on the positives and take it as a learning experience. |
| Girls |
| I still have so much learning and growing to do with myself. And so far, everytime I thought a particular girl was for me, I was wrong. So, I've totally left that in god's hands. I'm going to be a different person around the time I'm thinking about getting married or wholly committing to someone. So, I'm just giving myself time to grow, and when it happens, it happens. |
