Why did you pick this charity?

I was lucky enough to grow up with extremely supportive parents that were very active in my life, but some of my friends did not have this same experience, and my parents always tried to provide them a safe and fun environment that was filled with love. I think that the Boys & Girls Clubs organization’s goals are similar to what my parents’ actions taught me it was right to do, so I feel it is appropriate for me to support this organization to honor my parents beliefs and bring a similar experience to as many children as possible.

What does your mustache want to be when it grows up?

My mustache has a mind of its own and tends to wander, at times in what appears to be a quixotic manner. I know that its apparent nature will not lead to aimlessness and failure, instead it will mature and grow to become a spitting image of Colonel (and President) Theodore Roosevelt.

My T.R. ‘stache can go toe-to-toe with Chuck Norris’ ‘stache, and survive!
