Who would play you in the movie of your life?

I would have to say a young George Clooney. Maybe George circa 1990…with a superior beard.

What are you most thankful for?

I’m thankful for all the emotional and financial support both of parents have given me at my time at VCU. They are my backbone, and I can always count on them to back me up 110% with every endeavor I encounter.

Why did you decide to join a fraternity?

I joined Alpha Kappa Lambda Fraternity due to the social aspects at first. It was during the last week of the eight-week associate member process where I saw what fraternal brotherhood was. I had a warm environment where I could thrive academically as well as socially and realized that I couldn’t have picked a better group of guys to share my college career with

What would be your ideal date?

I would take her to dinner, and then find a Salsa dance club in Richmond. I love to dance, and if that club played Danza Kaduro I would grab her and dance with her in about a nano second.

What qualities do you look for in a girl?

First and foremost she has to be confident in herself. She would also have to be passionate in the goals she wants to achieve in college and in life. Definitely has to be a great dancer. Finally, she has to be honest.

Describe yourself in 3 words:

Confident, Beard and Intelligent.

Who is your role model?

My role model would have to be my older brother Antonio. At 27 He has a masters from Georgetown, a wife and a well paying job. If I could have two of the three things he has achieved at his age I would call that a success.

On a scale from one to America, how free are you tonight?
