WGP: Right now, probably beating Alexandre Despatie, who is our best power diver. He's not competing in the event right now, but if he were to come back, I think beating him would be my biggest accomplishment. But it's something that I think won't happen anytime soon.

WGP: If I wasn't diving, I think I would probably be playing poker most of the time and making money at that. It's more of a fun pastime and it doesn't include too much physical activity. There's the social aspect of it too, but it's also a very good way to make a lot of money. The better you get at it the more money you can make. It's something that I'm good at and I could certainly improve on it.
