AMS: What is your most embarrassing moment?
PDK: On my wedding night, I ran to the bathroom. When I got there, I noticed there were all women inside. I stood there for at least 10 seconds, I was so confused! They all laughed, and 2 minutes later, every one was talking about it.

AMS: If you could time travel, what year would you go to?
PDK: I would go back to when I was 3 or 4 to see how my parents raised me. I want to see what we did and where we went. I think it’s because I have small children of my own.

AMS: If you were stranded on a tropical island what are 3 things you would bring with you?
PDK: I’d bring a surf board, my family, and a fishing pole.

AMS: What is your best high school memory?
PDK: I went to state with my soccer team sophomore year. It was exciting, we played in front of over 5,000 people and got 3rd place.

AMS: What’s your dream job?
PDK: Working at Vanguard. And, I love having 3 months off every year. This is the perfect job for me.

AMS: What’s your dug out song?
PDK: Thunderstruck - ACDC. The intro is so cool.

AMS: Who would play you in a movie of your life?
PDK: Lee Dewyze.

AMS: What dance describes you?
PDK: The running man (A Vanilla Ice dance) because I’m a child of the ‘80’s.

AMS: What would be your last supper if you were on death row?
PDK: I’d have a burrito from Labamba Burrito.

AMS: Do you have Beiber Fever?
PDK: Totally not. His lyrics are so 50 years ago.
