Best Movie Ever: Roots (the TV movie won because Roots by Alex Haley is my favorite book)
When I sing in the shower, I usually sing: ...badly, but it usually is Adele or Jessie J.
I'm excited to be a part of Biggest Loser because: ...of the huge support system which includes my family, friends and co-workers. Not to mention my team members and trainers. I can't wait to lose the weight and work out hardcore.

I'm excited to be a part of Biggest Loser because: I am ready to take the next step in my lifestyle change. Taking time for my self improvement is something I haven't done for many years. This is particularly important now that I have a very active one-year-old. I want to be active and healthy for him and my wife.
