Favorite sport or activity?

Anything I have a chance at winning and/or blaming someone else if I lose.

I have cat like reflexes on the dance floor, especially at open bar venues.

Longhorns or Aggies?

I don’t care what college grad is serving me burger and fries, it just needs to be tasty.

Leave the fine folks of CrossFit Austin with some parting words…

Nature gave us all something to fall back on, and sooner or later we all land flat on it.
