What are your plans for after graduation?
I plan on going to law school. I’ve been accepted to a number of schools and plan to study either International or Corporate Law. If that doesn’t work out, I plan on declaring for the NBA draft.
If you had all day to do whatever you wanted, what would you do?
Watch Sports Center for a few hours, eat pizza from Artichoke and Basil and watch Carolina basketball.

I hate heights and flying.
What are the most attractive qualities a girl can have?
Humor. There’s nothing better than a girl who can make me laugh.
What are your biggest turn-offs in a girl?
A dislike of sports. I’m a huge sports fan and like a girl that shares those interests. Better not be a Yankees or a Duke fan, though.
Who do you admire more than anyone?
My dad. He’s a very family oriented person who will do anything for his kids. I hope to be the same type of father someday.
What’s your favorite memory from your time at UNC?
Walking out of the Dean Dome and into a snowstorm after beating Kentucky my freshman year. Everyone was excited from the win and the oddity of snow in Chapel Hill made the day even better.
What will you miss most about UNC?
I’ll miss tailgating for football games, basketball games in the Dean Dome, spending time with friends on Franklin Street and the feeling you get when you hand in your last final.
