Hondo says that he loves to eat and would love to be in a home where the family enjoys cooking and eating together. Hondo recalls coming home from fishing with his father, and his grandmother always had a meal prepared for them. He teased that he was a better cook than his grandmother, but when asked what he cooked, he stated, "peanut butter and jelly." Hondo also enjoys spending time with those he is close to by playing board games and doing puzzles together. He is very good at putting together large puzzles quickly and takes pride in this skill. Everyone who knows Hondo describes him as laid back with a sarcastic sense of humor. He is willing and eager to try new things and loves going to new places. Hondo loves Taco Bell, working out, and playing ball, but also enjoys quiet days at home just relaxing in front of the TV. Hondo loves animals, specifically dogs, which he would like to have one day.
