Describe your most embarrassing moment at Brandeisā¦ Iāve definitely had a few, but I feel like itās hard to really be embarrassed at Brandeis.Ā
Why is it important to recycle? What inspired you to become an Eco-Rep for Ridgewood and Ziv? I think itās important to recycle for the same reason any environmental behavior is important. I became an Eco-Rep my freshman fall having been involved with a similar program during boarding school. My experience in both programs has been a lot of fun.
Do you cook? If so, what is your signature dish? Whenever my cooking is better than Sherman food I might try feeding myself, but Iām not sure that day is coming any time soon.

Did you used to watch the Nickelodeon show āDougā as a child because you share the same name? I did watch Doug but was a bigger fan of other cartoons. I was actually Quail Man for Halloween twice though.
We know your secret that you did ballet in high school and want to know how has ballet influenced you?Ā In high school I did swimming, crew, and water polo, but after my college applications went in I quit the swim team. Unfortunately the only other PE class offered during that time slot was intro ballet (PE was required at my boarding school). I remember being really embarrassed and awkward the first day since I was the only guy in a class of like 20 freshman girls. The whole experience turned out to be great though; spending a whole semester frolicking around in spandex taught me a lot about being able to laugh at myself.
What are your plans for the summer? Iāll be taking classes over the summer at Brandeis and hopefully working as a research assistant in the econ department
