Why do you want to be on Paradise Hotel: Tahiti?

To meet new people, and have fun while doing it. It was my guilty pleasure last summer, so it would be neat to play it for myself.

Who is your personal hero?

My dad, because he fought in Vietnam and the first Gulf War. He never ran away or gave up on his country. It takes a lot of courage to do that.

What are some of your strengths?

I can be very persistent, I never give up on something when I set my mind to it. I'm extremly loyal (ecspecially to this country, I hope to join the Marines when I graduate), and I'm a nice guy.

What are some of your weaknesses?

None.

How would you describe yourself in three words?

Persistent, determined, friendly
