Why did you choose Mazda?
I was forced to cell my Acura Integra Type-R because it had many mods which included a turbo kit. Insurance found out, requested pictures. Then gave me 60 days notice before closing my account. I had 60 days to part out and sell my Type-R and purchase something new. Given the limited time I had, I found that the Mazda3 had many features that were found in cars much more expensive. In its class it offers good warranty, and gas consumption stats especially for the 2.0L considering its only shy 8hp which is easily made up for and them some in the aftermarket world these days anyways which keeping the low gas consumption. I was going to buy one used, got a good deal on a new one and here I am. Would I have purchased the same car having more time to pick? Maybe not, but do I regret it, no.

What previous rides have you owned?
1998 Acura Integra Type-R

Do you have any hobbies?
Pro Skier. Skied For the USA National Freestyle Ski Team and was a 2002 National Champ for mens moguls. (And THATS why everyone calls me "mogul".. )
I play paintball for a semi-pro team sponsored by a local field here in Niagara (DMZ Paintball) (Both milsim and speedball for those that know paintball).
Also play soccer, tennis, mountain biking, running, swimming, go to the gym every day (well 6 days a week... picture above is a bit out dated but didn’t want to post a flex shot.. lol).

What's a typical Friday/ Saturday night for you?
Taking the wife out for dinner or a movie or going to one of her shows if she has one that night. (Wife is a professional Ballet dancer and instructor. If you have been to a ballet in Toronto at a large theatre, good chance you have seen her.)
Or
Guys night, going to get some food and beers, playing pool, ending up at one of our houses playing xbox360 games.
Or
In the winter, at the ski challet in the USA (yes that is why i could ski for the USA team because i own property in the USA and can ski for there team and compete on the national level BUT am not allowed to rep them on any international events.. incase you were wondering)

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
With a baby in my arms, a entry(ish) level sports car in the garage (350z/g35coupe/135i,maybe rx8.. ect), going to work with the same company which should be more than triple the size it is now, getting into bed with my wife who is the woman of my dreams, and even more fit and healthy with the same great friends and keep family as close as they are now.

How would you rate the following of importance to you?
(finance, friends, education, family, job security)
From Highest to Lowest:
Family
Friends
Finance
Job Security
Education (I guess this shouldn't be on the list if your done going to school so its at the bottom...)


Describe yourself in 3 words.
Italian, Athletic, Analytical.

Name 3 goals you have yet to achieve.
Travel to every continent. (Close but still working on it.)
Learn to speak FLUENT Italian.
FITNESS: Be able to run 1.5Miles(2.4km) in 8min 30 seconds, and be able to bench 405lbs. in the same day. (Speed AND strength.. right now I am at 9min 42secs and 365lbs.. getting there...)

Any last shout outz?
Mazda3 Regulars for keeping me busy and interested on the slow days at the office reading all the threads we create, family who I love, friends who are always there for me, and my Mazda3 which makes any place I have to go a reasonably enjoyable experience.
