Occupation:Crime Reporter

How would you consider youself a Fan of Survivor: I have seen every season and studied the game. I have always dreamed about being on Survivor and how I would do going up against all types of people. I watch as many interviews and podcasts as I possibly can. Almost everyone that knows me considers me to be “obsessed” with this game. I am always talking about Survivor. My wife has even threatened to call Jeff Probst and get me on the show so I will shut up about it.

Who's your favorite former player?: My favorite former player would be Sophie Clarke from South Pacific. This seemed like a weird choice, but I think it is because she played how I would like to play. She was very methodical, got to know everybody’s motivations, and slowly inched her way to the final tribal council. My favorite Sophie moment was during her fight with Albert when she said “where’s your strategic mind now?” I love how she just blew up his game. She is amazing!

Why will you "survive" Survivor?: I love camping and the outdoors. I have done so much camping recently because I’ve been trying to prepare myself mentally and physically for this game. Nothing will intimidate me.

Why will you be the Sole Survivor: I have studied the game. I will look for people’s motivations. Through my job as a crime reporter, I know how to probe and ask the right questions, and also how to not be over bearing or intimidating. I will find out what their strong and weak points are and play to those. I know how to align with the right people to get myself to the end. I also know what to say at the final tribal so the jury will vote for me. With me determination and experiences, there is no way I am not winning this game.
