This week’s campus cutie is by far one of the coolest and most carefree guys on campus. He has the looks, an insanely good sense of style, and a great personality. Did I mention he’s a DJ? Extra bonus: He has the nicest room in Claver and a furry friend you have to meet.

HC: What is a fun fact not many people know about you?
WG: I DJ.
HC: What is your favorite type of music to listen to or your favorite artist(s)?
WG: My own freestyles.. Hip-hop, favorite artist: J. Cole. I actually bump Mariah Carey’s Christmas album at the gym.
HC: What sparked your interest to start DJing?
WG: I like dancing and I like music. When I was younger, I would go to sweet sixteen parties and was just impressed that DJs got paid to throw the parties where people have so much fun.
HC: What is your favorite part about DJing?
Will: Being able to create a good vibe and see people around you dance and have fun is something I love. Music expresses what words cannot.
HC: Have you DJed for any professional or major events?
WG: I’ve hosted my own events all throughout high school where I would rent out rec centers, hire security and just have my friends invite friends; they would become big things. I’ve also done weddings. I toured this summer where I went to kids camps and DJed for them.
HC: Are there any goals that you have for yourself when it comes to DJing?
WG: I would like to eventually take it to the next level and make it a job on the weekends. Maybe even expand and have people work for me.
HC: How would you describe your sense of style?
WG: Kanye inspired.
HC: How often do you work out?
WG: Always chasing the pump. I’m officer of the Fitness Club at Fairfield. It’s actually funny… I feel like people will come up to me just to talk to me about my gym routines and fitness stuff.
HC: Describe the perfect girl.
Will: A girl that is not basic, she has to be unique; I’m all about nice eyes. She has to be down to earth and down to have some fun.
HC: Where would you take a girl on a first date?
WG: Dinner on a boat because I’m all about the waves.
HC: What’s your idea of a good night?
WG: Making power moves with the boys. Trying to find the craziest party to go to. Finding some fine ladies and then ending up at the diner.
HC: Your room is decorated so nice, I’m obsessed with this rug; where can I get one?
WG: Renee’s because my mom is an interior designer and you know she holds it down.
Okay one last question I have to ask…
HC: Who is Cam and what is the story behind him?
WG: Cam is my right hand man, my wingman. He helps me finesse. Cam inspires me to live life to the fullest and f*ck shit up.
