Pre-meet ritual:
"I like to put music on and be to myself. I'll run through the pattern once in my head and go over what I want to do. I keep it positive."
Â
Funniest person on the team:
"Me. No question."
Â
Celebrity status:
"I met Sigourney Weaver from the movie Holes. It was really random, but she used my horse to ride around the Adirondack Mountains when I lived up in New York."
Â
Favorite athlete:
"Derek Jeter, well at least he was. Even though he retired, he's still my favorite player."
Â
Favorite TV shows:
"Anything on HGTV. I really like Property Virgins."
