Describe yourself in three words: Passionate, thoughtful, swag
How would you describe your personal style? Hipster bro. Somewhere in there. But I like to dress up. 
What is your favorite Harvard memory? Founding the Swag Factory. That’s the name of my radio show, not an actual factory. But we do mass produce swag.
What do you look for in a girl? She's got to have an interesting life. She has to be passionate about something. Driven. 
If you could be a superhero, who would you be and why? Captain America. Everyone else is too French. Just kidding, I love the French.
What would be your ideal date? Driving along the California coast, talking, laughing, sharing music, then ending the day at a drive-in theater with In-N-Out burgers. 
Best physical feature: Smile
What makes you cry: "Hear You Me" off Bleed American by Jimmy Eat World. Or the first ten minutes of Up.
City you most want to visit: Forget cities, I want to go hiking through New Zealand.
Favorite dessert sushi roll: Rollipop at the same place. They fry a ball of rice with crab meat on the inside and cover it in chocolate.  
Favorite U.S. Senator: Al Franken. I met him last summer and we talked about Harvard dorms. He's a funny guy.
List all of your DJ names: DJ Salinger, DJ Mark Puckerberg, DJ Triswagatops, DJ JP, DJ PJ, DJ Freedom. 
What you love most about California: The attitude. It's such a relaxing place and everyone's so nice. 
Where you are in fifteen years: In Washington DC, working in the public sector. Raising a family. Gotta keep the swag going for the future. 
Best time of your life: I don't know. Still to come.
