Survivor Q&A


Current residence

Aurora, Utah

Occupation
Rancher

Personal claim to fame
My family and my ranch.

Inspiration in life
My grandfather. He built a very large ranch with his own determination and sheer willpower.

Hobbies
Team sorting, hunting, riding and playing on my horse.

Pet peeves
Quitters and lazy people who don't keep their word.

3 words to describe you
Outgoing, strong-willed and self-motivated.

Survivor contestant you are most like
J.T. He played a great game and won. He is country, strong-willed, a great competitor, good to get along with, not a quitter and true to his word in the end. I'd like to think if you put 15 years on him, he would mirror me - except I'm better.

Reason for being on Survivor
It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience to prove that you can survive with next to nothing for 39 days and be one of 23 people in the world to be named Sole Survivor. (And a million dollars would be nice).

Why you think you'll "survive" Survivor
I'm used to living out in the elements on a daily basis. I'm a hard worker. I can build a fire, shelter and I can hunt and fish. I'm easy to get along with, always have a positive attitude and a lifetime of little tricks to make life nicer while camping in the dirt.

Why you think you will be the sole Survivor
After applying 14 times, I am driven and very determined to win the game. I will stop at nothing!
