Ladies, he might hail from New Jersey, but he’s quick to say that he isn’t from “the Shore.” A self-described man of both the musical notes and the written word, Corey’s a budding musician and writer. Who knows, maybe you’ll be the next subject of his songs and stories!

- I hear you’re quite the musician. What are you currently working on?
Right now, 8 or 9 songs that are relatively simplistic. Ideally I’d like to add a drum and bass portion to both. Hopefully I can play at a few coffee shops in the near future.
- What did you do for Spring Break?
I went to Florida with the family. We just hung out at the beach and relaxed.
- How far do you live from the Jersey shore?
This is such a common misconception! I only live two hours away from the Jersey Shore. NJ is not filled with guido or guidettes. I’ve been the recipient of so many Jersey Shore jokes and I just want to tell the haters that the Jersey Shore isn’t all that bad!
- You’re sporting some scruff– isn’t “no shave November” four months over by now?
I think that guys should be allowed to sport a little bit of scruff, ok?! November was a long time ago, man, but we’re in college and I got to show off the manly side.
- Favorite BD late night meal?
Hot cocoa.
- That’s a meal? Pretty sure it’s a hot drink!
Me and my three suitemates are really close and we got out for hot chocolate on many occasions, actually.
- Best annual Wash U party/event?
It’s a tie between ZBTahiti (on March 31!) and ZBT 70s party. They are different experiences from your typical Wash U party in so many ways. They’re unique events because they get people off campus. Plus there’s sand at ZBTahiti! How many parties have sand? Not many — shout out to Matt Schweiger for coordinating the sand!
- What’s the most creative thing you’ve done to win over a girl:
Just telling someone how you feel about them and your true feelings. A lot of people just want to play games and just mess around but getting to the point is just a big deal. Senior year of high school I wanted to do something creative to ask this girl to prom. Before senior prom, there was a fundraising dance with a raffle, and I got on stage for a certain prize, and said the winner is Michelle – and then I said your prize is going to prom with me! This was in front of fifty or sixty people and it was quite the experience.
- What does it take to get your digits?
Solid conversation and a good personality.
- If you were stranded in the Ozarks, what three essentials would you bring?
My guitar, some Caesar salad, and my phone so I can get un-stranded!
- You’re given a check for 5 million dollars. What do you do?:
I’d donate a significant portion to some charities first. Then I’d buy a boat and learn how to use it. I’d write poetry about the sea and visit different cities and go to South America and Europe.
- Pick one — Borat or Bruno –and why:
Borat because Bruno is disgusting. Borat has the right type of humor that appeals to people.
