What do you do on campus?

People watch. 

What’s one girl trend you don’t understand? 

They always run in the opposite direction when I try to say hi.

What do you look for in a girl? How about a deal breaker?

She needs to be sarcastic, athletic and always down to watch Lord of the Rings.  Deal breaker – she needs to be able to rally in ping-pong with me. 

What is your morning ritual?

Bang out 100 push-ups.  Stare at myself in the mirror for 5 minutes. Sprint to campus from my house. 

What’s one thing about Colby that you wish you could change?

 Location.

Who on the hockey team would you be hand cuffed to forever?

I’m already hand cuffed to Nick Lanza. 

What is your game day ritual?

Always take a 30-minute nap.  Make a toasted PB&J.  Make a cup of coffee that I share with Lanza.  Sit in the backseat of Lanza’s car while my chauffeur drives me to the rink.  Pre-game dunk contest with the fellas. 

Will you ever be able to measure up to your father’s handsomeness? 

You tell me. 

What’s your favorite joke? 

Matt Gelnaw.

Would you rather dine out or cook your date dinner? 

Absolutely cook my date dinner.  More romantic and cheaper. 

Blonde, brunette, or redhead? 

Brunette on weekdays.  Blondes on weekends.  Redheads on holidays. 

What is your favorite feature? 

Love the face.  More specifically, the eyes. 

Are you a beach house or lake house type of guy? 

Beach house for sure.  I’m a big fan of showing off the boogey board to the honeys along the shore. 

What is your opinion on being a third wheel? Can you speak from experience? 

Exposes how truly happy I am to hang out alone on Sundays, but I can’t speak from experience.

Where do you see yourself in 15 years? 

Married to my best friend’s girlfriend in my parent’s basement. 

How did you gain such an expertise in fine wines? 

Worked in the NH state liquor store… domestic red varietal specialist.

People who know you best would say that you are…

not as good looking as my father. 

The 1980s were…

the decade I should have grown up in. 

Describe the hockey team in 3 words…

bosses on ice.

So who is your Valentine?

She’ll find out tonight… I’ll find her.
