2ND F – Fellowship
Get to Know Your AOQs:
| Birth Name: | Brandon Michael Contreras |
| Age: | 36 |
| F3 Name: | Slater |
| What’s the story behind your F3 name? | I told the guys I was half Mexican and from California, and some other things. But apparently the kid thirties crowd won with the Saved by the Bell throwback. |
| What’s the best piece of advice someone has given you? | Other than my faith, I would have to say Boudreaux telling me I NEEDED F3 during the summer of my divorce. I didn’t know how formative being part of an early morning fitness group could be. |
| If you were an action figure, what accessories would you be sold with? | La Bandera and Chorizo burritos |
| What is something that you’re really good at, that is embarrasing? | Not embarrassing, but I used to be an amazing trumpet player through college and am known now for my whistling skills. |
| What is one thing you’ve done that you will never do again? | Get divorced (God willing). |
| How many languages do you speak? | Almost 3 (English and some Spanish and Turkish) |
| What was your first job? | When I was 12 or 13, my parents owned a snow cone shack that my sister and I would run in the afternoons. It’s amazing how many people loved pickle snow cones. |
| What is the strongest animal you could win against? | I’ve killed lots of Black Widows in my life and their venom is pretty bad. |
| What would be the worst thing to put into a piñata? | Spiders. |
| What are you most thankful for? | My kids. There are four of them and they are what keep me going. |
