What did you learn about yourself at the Paintball Combine?
Being a team player isn't always the best thing for me.
Who is your biggest inspiration and why?
My mother. We lost my dad when I was 18 to cancer. She managed to put my sister's through catholic school and college. She gave up everything for us. She never remarried because she believed that bringing another man to the house was a bad example for us. She now supports all my crazy ideas still
