Why did you choose that major?
Honestly, I went into the sustainability program not knowing much about it. I changed my major three times in my first year of college. I saw sustainability and hoped it would he the fit that I had been looking for. Fortunately, it was. I love learning about how society, the economy, and the environment work together. I also have a large interest in renewable energy.
Is there anything you want to do before graduating?
I want to get involved. I’m not exactly sure how and when I will do it with my already busy schedule, but I don’t want to leave college without being able to say I was an active member of an awesome club or something that made a difference.
What’s your biggest accomplishment so far?
I would have to say that my biggest accomplishment so far in life is getting my internship working for Salt River Project (SRP). I have been immersed in a corporate world where I’ve already gained so much valuable experience.
Describe your ideal first date:
I’m a pretty simple guy, really. I enjoy relaxing walks or a quiet dinner with casual conversation. I like to make sure things are comfortable and not awkward.
What’s your biggest turn off in a romantic partner?
Poor hygiene. I’m sure many people would have the same answer. But, I put effort into making sure I’m clean, and I think a romantic partner should do the same. If a guy doesn’t take care of himself, it’s a big turn off.
What are some of your favorite hobbies?
I don’t necessarily have “hobbies.” But I enjoy many things, including running, watching movies, and having coffee or ice cream with my dearest friends. I also enjoy taking naps. Lots of naps.
Favorite TV shows?
My favorite past TV shows were Lost and Heroes. I loved the complexity of Lost and how it constantly had me on edge. I found Heroes to be an all around cool show. Humans with special abilities is always a fascinating form of TV entertainment. Currently, I’m pretty hooked on Once Upon a Time and Pretty Little Liars. I like many different types of shows, and I am always interested in starting a new series with someone.
Favorite movies?
That’s such a tough question, but I love all movies with Jennifer Lawrence of course. Titanic, Rent, Seven Pounds, Cloud Atlas, The Good Son, and Avatar are some of my favorites off the top of my head. In all, I love watching action/thrillers, drama, and sci-fi movies.
Favorite food?
Pasta. I love how many different varieties there are. Specifically, I love my chicken alfredo with linguini pasta. Pizza is also my favorite. You can’t go wrong with pizza. You just can’t.
Guilty pleasure?
Singing along to my favorite Disney musicals. I won’t elaborate.
Celebrity crushes?
Male: Liam Hemsworth, Matt Dallas, Taylor Lautner, Chris Pine
Female: Jennifer Lawrence, Selena Gomez, Olivia Munn, Lucy Hale
Describe yourself in three words:
Quirky, kind, driven
Do you have a favorite pick-up line?
Hmm. I obviously don’t use any, but I love, “Are you wearing space pants? Because that ass is out of this world,” makes me laugh, always.
If you could take someone out to dinner, dead or alive, who would it be and why?
I would have to choose Demi Lovato. She is has a very interesting life. She’s gone through so much and has made her life viewable to her fans in the hopes of helping those who may have gone through the same struggles as her. She’s strong and driven, and I would love to take her out and learn more about her. Also, I’m a huge fan.
Do you have a weird talent? Or perhaps an interesting fact about yourself?
I’m not sure if this is a weird talent or an interesting fact, but I imitate a lot of people, mostly my friends. I can usually make good impressions of them. I attribute it to me being very observant of people and their demeanor. I do imitations just for fun.
What would be your ideal superpower?
I’ve always wanted telekinetic powers- Or be able to control objects with my mind. You really can do anything with this ability. I’d use it to satisfy my laziness.
Is there’s anything you’d like to add?
Everything I am doing is for my immediate family. Every decision I’ve made and every goal I have set is so that I can, one day, provide for my family in a way that will make their life easier.
