What’s your favorite role to have on a film shoot? Why?
My favorite role on a film would have to be cinematography. It’s pretty awesome because with lighting and camera work you can end up with a lot of creative authority over the visual aspects of the film.
Where’s the coolest place you’ve ever gotten to visit for a shoot?
I went to Puerto Rico with some friends to shoot a short film and that was pretty cool.
What’s your dating pet peeve?
Girls that don’t talk at all, unless it’s about something like their 300 cats back home.
Who’s your celeb crush?
Kathy Bates
Who would you want to trade places with for a day?
I would probably be Christopher Walken for a day.
Describe yourself in three words.
Rad, Bad, Beachboy
What are some of your hobbies outside of filmmaking?
Rock-climbing, Scuba Diving, and Finnish lawn sports.
What’s your favorite movie? 
Adaptation.
What makes you a campus cutie?
Some people tell me it’s because my body looks like a melted candle, but I don’t know if I believe that.
