Role model/hero: Barack Obama
What are you passionate about? Show tunes.
What would you do if you won the million dollars? Withdraw the full amount in one-dollar bills, put it in a kiddie pool, jump in, jump out and take a shower (apparently money is really dirty).

Favorite place you have ever visited: Princeton, N.J.
Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: Staying in harmony (musically and competitively)
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race (other then winning one million bucks)? An incredible experience and the chance for one last hurrah with Jonathan before we graduate and go off into the real world.
Pet peeve about your teammate: At times Jonathan can be overly concerned with getting in trouble and he's often afraid to break any sort of rules.

Connection to your Teammate: Best friend
Current occupation: Student

What are you passionate about? Tweezin' the old unibrow
What would you do if you won the million dollars? If I were to win the million dollars I would buy a pony, but just one.
People would be surprised to learn: That my name, “Jonathan,” is translated to mean “gift from God.” Coincidence? I think not.
Favorite place you have ever visited: My podiatrist's office (bunion surgery – more like “Fun-ion” surgery.)
Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on the Race together: Not dying while circling the globe.
What do you hope to accomplish by running the Race (other then winning one million bucks)? On the Race, I hope to accomplish world peace, eradicate hunger and give Phil Keoghan a buzz cut.
