some random facts you won't see in the resume: 

  1. I was a professional Polynesian dancer for 12 years. My grass skirt now hangs in the rafters.

  2. In college, I staged a walk-out in the middle of my LSAT exam. No one followed.

  3. I've run two marathons, but I'm not a runner.

  4. If adult kickball was an official sport, you'd be reading my bio on the back of a trading card.

  5. I once traveled 15 hours for a 15 minute meeting with Michael Bay and didn't once bring up Bad Boys. Regrettably.

  6. Lakers > Clippers. Dodgers > Angels. Rams > Chargers. Trojans > Bruins.

  7. A hot dog isn’t a sandwich. It’s a taco. Fight me.
