Who is the most important person in your life? The most important person in my life is my little girl. She relies on me for everything and I want to give her the world.

What is your favorite movie? This is a hard question, but one of my favorite movies is The Pursuit of Happyness with Will Smith because it teaches a great lesson.

What would you say is a girls best friend? A loving husband

What can't you leave the house without? My cell phone of course
