What are you involved in on campus?
Pretty much the only thing I’m involved with is Greek Life, I’m a member of Sigma Pi fraternity here and have a great and meaningful time participating in worthy college activities.

What do you like to do in your free time?
Slosh. Ball. Oh and I like to read a book or two over a nice bottle of Cabernet, and a good ole’ agressive day drink is also a favorite pastime. Throwing around the football is a good time too. 
 
What’s your favorite…
Thing about Elon: The campus, it’s gorgeous. 
TV Show: Mad Men
Restaurant: I’m a sucker for Mexican food, so hands down, this little place called Jack n Grill in Denver. 
Animal: Dogs 
Movie character: Probably… Will Hunting (Matt Damon) from Good Will Hunting. 
Dance move: I’ve been known to bust out a comically bad moonwalk from time to time. 
 
Got a celebrity crush? Emma Watson 
 
Any hidden talents? It’s not really hidden, but I used to be a pretty good guitar player back in the day. 
 
Describe your ideal first date? Really, I like simple dates. So maybe a really good show like Phish, or maybe even Jimmy Buffet, something that she’d like as well, and then dinner- probably Mexican, and Margaritas later.
 
Describe your dream girl? She’s got to have really pretty eyes and long hair. She’s got to be able to have a good conversation on real issues. Other than that, long legs, pretty face don’t hurt either. Oh, and she’s got to be a Republican. And it’s a super extra bonus if she can cook. Lastly, if she was genuinely caring, thoughtful and romantic it’d be an added added bonus. 
 
Any relationship advice? Don’t cheat on your girlfriend. Try not to lie excessively. Be a gentlemen. Don’t hit on her Mom or sisters when they come to visit and show some damn respect for her Father.
