And motivation, just for any-thing they have going on in life. They should be passionate about what they do and be motivated about it.My proudest accomplishment: Four years in the Navy. I got to see a lot of places and meet a lot of people from different parts of the world. I wouldn’t trade those connections in for anything.The most important value in a relationship: Honesty. You have to be honest with your significant other and be honest with yourself and not try to be someone you’re not just to make a rela-tionship work — that never works out. Top song on my playlist: “Let Your Hair Down” by Magic!My favorite thing about living on the Gulf Coast: The water. Just being by the saltwater, I think it’s pretty sooth-ing. Just getting out in it as much as pos-sible helps relieve a lot of stress. I did spend a few years away from Galveston in some landlocked places and nothing compared to being by the water.Drink of choice: Fresh, homemade lemonade. Biggest turnoff: Cigarette smoke, cursing in public. Cursing in a group of friends, that’s cool. I curse myself, I’m an ex-sailor. But out in public and when kids are around, it’s a big pet peeve of mine.Super powers I wish I had: It would be the ability to change the weather. Hopefully it warms up soon.ErIk STrAMBlAD COASTMONTHLY.COM / APRIL 2015 39409-761-0585GAY@GALVESTONRE.COMGAY FuNdLiNG, BROKER 16703 ManaguaJamaica Beach3/2.5/1 Fabulous canal home on two waterfront lots overlooking bird sanctuary.
