Little-known fact? Alex is Anthony's evil twin.
Favorite color? Black, because Anthony said so.
Non-music jobs? Yes...My worst job: Yes. Seriously, looking back on the whole thing, I'm really glad that I worked as many non-music jobs as I did. I got to meet some really great people I would not have met in the music field.
Most interesting/funny gig? Playing on top of a glacier (Rainbow Glacier, BC).
Random television/media moment? A non-airing Cheerios commercial (1986)
Favorite superhero? Rage (A.d.i.d.a.m.'s X-men persona), 'cause I know his weakness is Ovaltine!
Favorite restaurant(s)? "Octopus's Garden" and "Habibi's" (Vancouver, BC)
Embarrassingly often-misspelled word(s)? "Minneanapolis" ("Minneapolis"), I just found out that I've been saying "Minneanapolis" for a really long time.
Early-Bird or Night-Owl? My son is a baby. I still don't know what day or time it is...
What does Psalm Fresh mean to you? Psalm Fresh is an amazing group to work with. To collaborate with others who have the same desire to spread God's message of love and joy is nothing short of fantabulous (and if that's not a real word, then "fantastic" will suffice).
