Why do you like being a Clef? “It’s really incredible to have sixteen entirely different guys, who probably never would have been friends, come together for one common passion: music.”
Why he’s our campus cutie:
Aside from having an adorable smile and being a Clef Hanger (and really, who doesn’t love the Clefs?), AJ keeps a positive attitude constantly. He hopes to be remembered by people at UNC as “the kid who made them laugh or smile.” With his active involvement on campus and dedication to helping others, he is definitely not like the average guy you find in sweaty frat basements on Thursday nights.
Despite his already busy schedule, AJ has managed to become quite the world traveler. From spending time at his family’s summer home in Canada, traveling all over Europe or helping save sea turtles in Tecolutla, Mexico (one of his many altruistic activities?), AJ has done it all.
So stay hopeful ladies; there are good men like AJ on this campus!
