What are you involved in at UMD?
I’m the Social Chair for Delta Sigma Phi, member of Terpski and Business Leadership in Society, overestimated intramural competitor, along with involvement in severe procrastination and an on/off work ethic.
Best part of being a member of your fraternity?
Definitely the eclectic membership, so that in any situation, there will always be a brother with the know-how to help you out with what you need, whether that be class scheduling for your major, repairing your car, mixing drinks, hiding bodies, etc.
What do you consider your best trait?
My great sense of humor, coupled with overconfidence in my not-so good looks.
Hobbies?
I play the guitar as well as surf and snowboard, though a knee injury kept me off the slopes this past winter.
What song do you sing in the shower?
Any Jack Johnson song really, depending on my mood, but if I’m going to go for the Shower Idol title, I’d probably be belting Santa Monica by Everclear
Best pick-up line?
Did you used to read Dr. Seuss, girl? ‘Cause Green Eggs and Daaaaaaaaaaaamn, girl.
What do you find most attractive about girls?
Probably an outgoing sense of humor, overall ability to get jiggy with it on the dance floor, and a cute face, in that order.
Celebrity crush?
Either Emma Watson or Olivia Wilde
How would you get a girl’s attention?
Depends on the girl and the type of attention I’m looking for…. But in all seriousness, simply being myself, approaching them, and trying to make them laugh usually does the trick. If that doesn’t work, I can always fire a flare gun or pull an alarm; that usually gets their attention.
Are you currently looking for love?
Not specifically searching, but if/when that right person clicks, I won’t fight it.
