i mean i'm sure you get this question a lot and we touched on it very briefly, but still, if it's not too much trouble, what's it like flying?
• Personally, I love the freedom that it brings. I mean, of course there are rules and regulations that need to be followed, you shouldn't be flying anywhere you shouldn't be going, all of that, but I just like how I feel during it. Flying the fighter jets gives me a sense of control that I oddly wouldn't get being down on the ground, and just flying in general brings me great joy. It makes me happy.

• Not answering this in public, but I do remember the time you shit your pants while you were hitting on a girl because I gave you laxatives in your soda that day for being an asshole. How you managed to play that off and still get that girl's number, I have no idea. I think she was desperate. I hope you took a shower at least.

why is vanilla ice cream white when vanilla extract is brown?
• Let me Google that for you: "Ice cream is basically a frozen custard, and the milk and eggs carry flavor very well. Vanilla and vanilla extract are strong flavors, so you need very little. Good vanilla ice cream has brown flecks from the vanilla seeds. Cheap vanilla ice cream has artificial vanilla flavor, which can be any color."
how can something be "new" and "improved"? if it's new, what was it improving on?

• According to Bloomberg, not fast at all.
do you wake up or open your eyes first?

why does a round pizza come in a square box?
• Let me Google that again for you: "Because it is simpler, cheaper and easier to make a square box than a round one (a square box can be formed from a single sheet of card ) and also it is easier to store, transport and pack square boxes which will remain in a flat state until needed and are quickly assembled at point of use."

Do you wear glasses/contacts?
• I do, I'm actually pretty blind without them. Though I am aware of people making fun of me for wearing glasses, thinking that I'm trying to 'look more intelligent', but honestly, I can't see shit. So when I don't have my glasses on, I have contacts in. Simple as that, no pretentiousness to it, sorry to disappoint.
Briefly describe a defining moment in your childhood and how it influenced your life.
• As a kid, my parents were both professionals, and my father had taken over Trevisan International from his father, so it was expected that either Jon or I would be groomed for the CEO position. As a kid, I took an interest in planes, learning how to fly, and took a lot of lessons as a kid. By the time I hit 18 though, I didn't think I was really doing anything much with my life, and decided to join the Air Force. I ended up staying there for 10 years, leaving once my contract was up, and it was around that time that my father got very ill. I didn't take it very well, and ended up almost throwing away everything in grief. Jon was named CEO, and I was very angry at him for that, but it was for stupid reasons: he had stayed around to learn the ins and outs, while I joined the USAF and got various degrees. I could help the company and the family more in a different position, and that was how it ended up. But that decision to join USAF as a kid changed me forever, there are things that I went through that I still have nightmares about from time to time, but well I think every man and woman who serves the country is stuck with some PTSD unfortunately.
Are you who you claim to be?
• Absolutely, without a doubt. I've never thought it important to hide who you are as a person - life is a lot easier when you're comfortable with yourself. Of course, it took me a bit to get to this point, but I'm happy at the place I'm at now.
How did you get along with each of their siblings?
• Jon is the biggest asshole that I know, but he's my brother and I love him. Teasing aside, we get along really well.
Do you have any degrees?
• I have my Masters in Computer Science and my Masters in Finance. I'm considering a Doctorate, but honestly I just don't have the time at the moment, there are more important things I should be doing. (Like maybe not working so much.)
What are your favorite colors?
• Red, black, and gray.
Is there anything that you don’t currently know how to do that you wish you could?
• I wish I knew how to paint or draw. I've always envied those who can do that, I've always loved going to museums and looking at the different art people have created. Oh, I'd also add sculpture to that as well.
