1. Where are you from?
   Binghamton Zoo. It’s located very close to my new home, the Binghamton University Events Center.
2. How many teams do you represent?
   I rep all 21 sports, but ONE TEAM #CodeGreen
3. How were you chosen to be school mascot?
   Our old mascot wasn’t cutting it, so they hired me to take care of the job. I went through a grueling tryout with the coaches. Here’s a video of the day I rose to the challenge.
4. Do you have any friends that are mascots?
   I have plenty of friends, a few are mascots. You may all know Max; he’s the Binghamton Senators mascot and Buddy the Bee and Ballwinkle from the Binghamton Mets. We go way back!
5. What is your favorite campus event?
   Ooh, that’s a tough one.  So many to choose from, but if I had to choose, Homecoming.  Getting together with thousands of my closest friends is pretty awesome!
6. What do you consider the ideal fan?
   Anyone that eats, sleeps, breathes and, most importantly, bleeds GREEN!
7. What’s it like to be a mascot?
   The most fun you can have. I get to energize the fans and meet all kinds of great people.
8. What do you like to do for fun?
   Everything and anything Binghamton, such as bringing #BingPride to the local community.
9. What is your favorite Broadway play?
   I’d have to say the Lion King. Ya know, I just love seeing all my fellow animals making it on the big stage.
10. What is your favorite New York State destination?
    Obviously Binghamton University, but you could say I’m a little biased.
