Meet Ridgeview: Mr. Harms

Mr. Harms: 3rd grade, JH Boys Basketball

What is your first name, and why are you named ?
My first name is Brent. I wish to believe that the name had some Latin origin that stood for something amazing, but I phoned my parents, and they just confirmed that they “just really liked the name.” My middle name is Phillip…after my father, which is cool, because I love my father.

What is your favorite type of peanut butter?
My vote goes to JIF – Creamy…the Crunchy gets bits stuck in your teeth and that’s really annoying for hours. I add a little sprinkle of cinnamon to every PB sandwich I make and like to occasionally add a swirl of Hersey’s chocolate on it before applying the top slice of bread. Try it…you may never go back to just PB.

If you could have any super power, what would it be?
If I could have any super power at all, it would be the power to make everyone happy. Life is so much easier and friendlier when everyone is happy and smiling. There would be so many fewer problems and less stress in the world.

What were your nicknames in high school?
My nickname in high school was “Cosmo” after the famous Seinfeld character….Cosmo Kramer. Many of my high school friends still call me that today.

Who is your celebrity crush?
I can honestly say I have never had a celebrity crush. I always thought Jennifer Aniston was absolutely beautiful from the first time my sister started watching “Friends”.  I saw her on the cover of my wife’s “People” magazine last week, and she still looks gorgeous, so if I would have had a crush on her, at least I would have picked one that has aged really well.  I’ve had a crush on my wife since the day I saw her…… and still do to this day.

If you could be any animal, what would it be?
If I could be any animal, it would be a lion….. he’s the king of the jungle. Enough said.

Left or right Twix?
I have never eaten a full size Twix, so I can’t really tell you.  The only Twix I have had are the “Fun Size” ones that are only one stick….. and they aren’t that fun being so small.
