Favorite Food: Cuban Sandwich from Paseo in Seattle
Favorite place to go in New Orleans: Frenchman Street, but especially Frenchman Grocery for their BBQ Po-Boy or Wasabi Sushi: the best sushi I have ever had…and I have had a lot of sushi.
Where do you see yourself after Tulane: I see myself either working in New York City or in Seattle, hopefully in a tall building with a view of a body of water.
What’s your favorite activity outside of the classroom: I have been playing soccer my whole life, and I still play every chance I get. I have always been a pretty competitive person though, so I really enjoy just about every sport, with the exception of baseball.
What do you look for in a girl: I am pretty picky when it comes to girls. First of all I am all about the Brunettes, the darker hair the better. I also love a girl with an inappropriate sense of humor, and athleticism is always a big plus. I like a girl who treats her body well. Basically I just look for someone I can always have a good time with, whether we are going out, or sitting on the couch making fun of a movie on the SciFi channel.
Do you have a funny date story you’d like to share: A few years ago I was on first date with a girl, who I really liked, we went to lunch and then walked around ending up by this lake near my house. The sun was starting to go down and to break the ice a little bit I said jokingly, “let’s go swimming”. She jokingly said back “I’ll get in if you do.” That was too good of a deal for me to pass up, even if she was joking. So, I dropped my cell phone on the dock and jumped in, with all my clothes still on. When I came to the surface, she was yelling at me saying “I can’t believe you did that.” But then to my surprise she jumped in too. A little bit later we returned to my house, both freezing and soaking wet, but the ice was definitely broken between us.
