How long have you been watching Jeopardy!?
I've been watching Jeopardy! since I was about five, because I've always been interested in game shows.

My favorite Jeopardy! category is all the sports categories, because I know a lot about them.

How did you find out that you were selected to be on Jeopardy!?
I found out I was going to be a contestant on Jeopardy! when I was at school and I had to go to my principal's office, and my dad was there, and he said that I was going to be on Jeopardy!

When I grow up, I want to be a major league baseball pitcher.

My favorite baseball team is the Arizona Diamondbacks, because they won the 2001 World Series.
