My name is Gunnar, and I play baseball. I am the winner of many prestigous food eating contest awards, and I really enjoy my dog’s company. I frequently take long walks on the beach at the sunset, and I attend various 1980’s band’s concerts. I am a black belt, I made all A’s in kindergarten, and I don’t like broccoli.
