Hometown: Poquott, NY

Occupation: Music Teacher/Pianist/Composer

How would you consider yourself a Fan of Survivor: The first season I ever saw was Survivor: Pearl Islands. My mom wanted me to help her with some errands and then watch the show with her (she was saying that I would love the show for a while, but I never bothered to watch). This time, the premier was on and I gave in. My mom was right and I was hooked on this show instantly. Not only did Survivor night become our night, but I also saw a lot of myself in Sandra as we are similar in terms of both athletic inability and personality (I just have slightly more patience). As soon as Sandra won Pearl Islands, I realized that I could also win this game and I’ve been auditioning ever since.

Who's your favorite former player?: Sandra Diaz-Twine. The first (and so far only) two time winner!

Why will you "survive" Survivor?: In the music industry, I have worked with all types of people; from hyper little children to grumpy old men, I’ve seen it all. I’m also used to being put into all types of rolls. As a music teacher, I mentor people, as a pianist, I am in the spotlight performing, and as a composer, I’m writing the story. I’ve developed a lot of patience and people skills along the way. Put me in any situation, I will adapt and find a way to survive.

Why will you be the Sole Survivor: Sandra is the only two time winner for a reason, she is able to adapt very well. I am the same way. I know how to handle myself in any situation and how to tell people what they want to hear; that’s what this game is all about.
