What’s your idea of the perfect date? Growing up at the Lake of the Ozarks has made me enjoy a nice boat ride. There are not many things more relaxing than a ride during a warm summer evening with a special girl. And a goodnight kiss on a first date is always a good ending.
What do you look for in a girl? This first attraction is a big smile, bright eyes, and long legs. Above all, intelligence, humor, and honesty are qualities that can never be overlooked
Do you have a favorite place in Columbia? Piano Bar (The Penguin) and the Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity house.
Where do you want to be in 10 years? In 10 years I would like to be a CRNA (Nurse Anesthetist). This position could be held in large or smaller cities. 10 years is a long time to set too many goals. Life is best spent when you are surprised by the outcome. So surprise me!
