Meet Kevin:

Describe yourself in three words.  Lover, fighter, and doesn’t follow rules well.

What’s your party anthem?   “Roar” by Katy Perry, and yes I do love to dance!

Favorite food?  Freshly caught seafood cooked Mediterranean style, preferably caught and cooked by myself.

What are three things you can’t live without?  My friends and family would be two because I would not be where I am at without them, and exercise would be the third.

What’s your guilty pleasure TV show?  Hahah, definitely New Girl! I don’t feel guilty about that though. It’s a great show!

What’s your favorite late night snack?  Donuts… I love donuts!

Who’s your celebrity crush?  Scarlett Johansson.

Boxers or briefs?  Briefs Monday through Friday, and boxers on the weekend.

Do you have any secret talents?  Hahah yeah I have a couple, but to name a few most people don’t know that I secretly love to draw, I’m actually a pretty good cook, and I love to play the piano.

What’s your dream job?  If there was a job title called Engineer-Entrepreneur-Explorer-Philanthropist, that would be it in all honesty. Until I find that position, I’ll just pursue self-employment in whatever makes me happy.

What’s your most embarrassing moment?  Oh I don’t really get embarrassed,  but if I did it would have been at the Alpha Phi Formal when I was dancing to “Get Low” by the Ying Yang Twins.  As I tried to show off to my amazing date, my suit pants tore open at the seam as I dropped low exposing my superman underwear! I was then awarded the most embarrassing date award.

Campus Life:

What’s your best U of U memory?  Every time we beat BYU tops everything else. Go Utes!

What’s your favorite class you’ve taken at the U?  Without a doubt, Power Basics with Alan Sandomir.

Best study spot? Best place from my experience would be the “Living Room” on the mountainside, above the U, looking over the valley at sunset. It’s so relaxing and easy to concentrate.

Best place to meet girls?  Well I’ve been to a lot of places around the world, and I’ve come to the consensus that the University of Utah has some of the best women. So no matter where you go on campus you won’t be disappointed! 

Dating Life:

Biggest turn on?  There’s nothing hotter than a girl that is independent, intelligent, and physically fit with the confidence to match.

Biggest turn off?  I don’t really have many turnoffs, but I think confidence in yourself is the best thing no matter who you are and will make you that much more attractive.

What do you look for in a girl?  Positive energy mixed with a beautiful mind, topped with a great sense of adventure. That is the recipe for a perfect girl!

Describe your ideal date.  Well, I think the perfect date can consist of anything as long as at some point I feel a special connection that only she and I share at that moment in time. That “butterflies” in your stomach feeling when you gaze into each other’s eyes and can’t help but smile.

What’s your favorite pick up line? When taking my shirt off doesn’t work, I usually go for asking her if she would like to go get pumpkin spice lattes with me.

What’s the nicest thing you’ve ever done for a girl?  Well I like to keep chivalry alive in every aspect of my life whether I’m courting the girl of my dreams or just going out with a friend that’s a girl. Included in that is always offering to pay for meals or any expenses, opening doors, etc. However, I think the most I’ve done for a girl was actually for one of the most important woman in my life, my grandma.  She has lived with a neuromuscular disease my entire life that has progressed to be worse and worse over the years. Since she has done so much in raising me into the man I’ve become today, I dedicated a triathlon I competed in this last year to her by raising over $17,000 to further research on a cure for neuromuscular diseases.

What’s a girl trend you hate/don’t understand?  When girls settle for less than they deserve.

U of U girls are the best because…  Let’s be honest they are all perfect!
