Tell me about where are you from?:   I’m from the great state of Texas, and can’t wait to go home for thanksgiving break.
How does the weather at Amherst compare to the weather back home?:  It’s way better. The temperature only drops below 40 for about a week, so winter weather at home is like Amherst fall. The summers are obviously super hot, but I like that. I miss the days when you just sweat as soon as you go outside.
Why did you choose to attend Amherst?:  My dad went to Williams, so even though no one in Texas has heard of them, the NESCAC schools were on my radar. I knew I wanted to play football and Amherst had the best blend of football and academics.
What’s are you interested in both academically and leisurely?:  Im majoring in religion and math. As a Christian, my religion classes have been extra interesting. And as far as math, there’s nothing better than a nice proof, y’know?  Football takes up most of my leisure time, but I still consider myself a professional SpikeBall player – it’s probably my favorite sport.
 
What are you involved in on campus?:  I’ve been involved with Athlete’s Bible Study (actually a misnomer–many people who come don’t play sports) since my Freshman year. It’s a really relaxed group just trying to learn what the Bible says and talk how to apply its teaching to our lives. We meet on Tuesdays at 9:30 in Moore, you should come : )
 
Tell me more about your hobbies:  Besides sports, puns and fun facts. That pretty much sums it up.
What are your plans for the rest of your time at Amherst and beyond:  In the next year and half, my only real goals are to graduate win another 8 football games. The rest of my free time will go to ABS (Amherst Bible Study) and other ACF (Amherst Christian Fellowship) organizations.   And I have no idea what I’ll do when I graduate, I guess we’ll see.
 
What’s something you’ve always wanted to say but never got the chance to say it?:  Q.E.F.D.  – Quod Erat Fxxxing Demonstrandum
