Began skating at the age of 7 after watching figure skating on television ... Listens to The Rolling Stones and does the same off-ice warm-up before each competition ... Considers career-defining moment to be his performance at the 2011 U.S. Championships ... Looks up to Scott Hamilton ... Works part-time as a skating coach in Cumming, Ga. ... Says his biggest influences in life are his parents, Michelle and Michael ... Considers himself a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan and loves to water ski ... Has five dogs: two Scottish terriers, two Dachshunds and a mixed terrier ... After skating wants to go into journalism or coaching ... Favorite quote: "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." - A.R. Bernard.
