Tell us about your morning routine.
My morning routine is to avoid the early morning as much as possible. I don’t like being awake before the sun at all. This morning was a bit different, what with an interview this morning and all that stuff. But, my standard morning is meds, hit snooze at least once, and eventually pull myself from bed.

Who are the biggest influences in your life?
Bea Arthur for her moxie, intelligence, Marine Corps Women’s Reserve service, and just general amazing heart.
Robin Williams for all that he did for his family fellow man while battling his own demons.
Lucille Ball for her being clever, kind, hilarious, and more than just a little bit weird.
Leonard Nimoy, for being an amazing artist, actor, and poet. Also, to be the second guy that I ever thought looked good in blue eyeshadow.
I’m sure there are more, especially if you count fictional people.
