Profile
Name: Denzel Tumin (30) Current Residence: Jersey City, NJ Occupation: Health Coach Personal Claim to Fame: Definitely my two children, Viola and Sam, my family are everything to me. It's why I'm out here, it's my motivation for anything I do in life, it's crazy how such small little bundles of flesh can literally mean the world to you. Inspiration in Life: I'll probably have to go with my wife, Katharine, I met her in high school - I guess you could call us high school sweethearts (laughs),but seriously she's just the most amazing human being I've ever met. She's owns a business, takes care of our child, and still manages to be the kindest individual I've ever known. Hobbies: Working Out, Jogging, Walking, Playing With My Children, Football. Pet Peeves: I dislike people who are uptight and like to be the centre of attention. I'm naturally quite a chilled person, and people who just crave attention really irritate me. I kinda feel sorry for them to be honest, the way they have to beg a person to focus on them shows how lonely they really are. Three Words to Describe You: Chilled, Honest, Laid-back Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Ooh... that's a toughie, I don't really know to be frank, I'd probably say I'm a bit like James just not as beastly as him. I really just want to play my own game y'know? I will only really know what kind of player I am when I get on that beach. Reasons For Being On SURVIVOR: Well it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that I'm probably out here for my family. Y'know the million would make my children's lives so much better than they are now. We could get them the best education they could ever have. Also, Survivor is just a great experience and something that will live with me forever. Why You Think You'll 'Survive' SURVIVOR: I've been a health coach for a few years now and I'm certainly in good enough shape to deal with the elements out here. And in terms of mentally, just the thought of my family will get me through the inevitable rough times that Survivor will throw at me. Why You Think You'll be the Sole SURVIVOR: I think I have the right balance of physical strength, without coming across as threatening, strategy, without being irrational, and good socially, without giving away the fact that I am charismatic. Hopefully that blend of attributes gives me the winning ratio!(chuckling).
