Where to hang: I’m more of a bar-type guy. I like to keep it low key…kind of a small town atmosphere. I like to club every now and then, but I like the small pubs. Anywhere I find one, I like to stop in there.
Dining: Definitely, it would have to be Charley’s. I love the steak and wine, so definitely that’s my happy place. Charley’s.
How do you like your steak? I like my steak medium well. I like it cooked all the way.
How do you feel about the fans and distractions from the crowd? I love it man. I’m from Sacramento and I’m a Kings fan and it reminds me of Arco arena a little bit. It’s a big time cowbell place and it gives you goose bumps when there’s a big play that happens and how loud it gets. It’s amazing.
So you’ve cancelled all your post-season plans because you’re going to make it to the playoffs, right? That’s right. Trip to Hawaii is put off until November, so hopefully it all works out then.
Music: I like hip hop and jazz. I like to mix it up. Jazz gives me a good mental state of mind and hip hop gets me going a little bit more. So, depending on what I need that day is what I listen to.
Summertime fun: I stay indoors when it’s this hot. That’s what I like to do. Put the TV on, put the A/C on, and flip the tube around a little bit. I’m a little lame during the summer. I like the indoors.
Favorite beach: Shephard's beach is pretty fun. If I’m going to go somewhere, I’ll check that place out.
