If you were in a high school marching band, which instrument would you want to play?
The snare. It’s all about the groove.
Do your socks always match?
YES.
If you could have a superpower, what would you choose?
Healing.
What’s your go-to road food?
Chipotle. At least you know it’s GMO-free, the meats are almost reasonably raised, and you can’t beat that guac for healthy fat!
Who was the best teacher you ever had — and why?
Steve Duesterbeck. Ninth grade history. At least once a day he would say, “War is hell and people die.”
What’s your favorite TV show?
The Waltons
Boots or sneakers?
Sneakers. I used to be cool. Now I’m comfortable.
Which brothers do you prefer — Avett, Wood, Stanley, Comatose, or Louvin?
Louvin.
Canada or Mexico?
Love ’em both. If I had to choose … Mexico. My father-in-law has a ranch in the mountains outside Gaudalajara.
