Relationship status: Single
Favorite part of MSU: Best part of MSU is the people. It’s so diverse here yet everyone shares one big commonality; we all love to get crazy!
Are you involved with anything on campus? I’m in my 3rd year of Army ROTC, a training group called Ranger 1 within the program, and additionally I serve on the E-board of my fraternity, Sigma Pi.
What you find most attractive in a girl: Beauty is often the first thing most guys worry about, but that can drag you in for all the wrong reasons. Three things are big for me: honesty, independence, and a sense of humor. Those three things in a beautiful girl that knows how to let go and goof around will make me melt completely.
Dream date: Cook a lovely meal, eat it on the beach watching the sunset, then a midnight boat ride under the stars.
What’s your secret weapon when flirting with a girl: Eye contact. I guess that’s not really secret but making someone feel comfortable talking to you is big. If that doesn’t work, I’ll pull out the fact my mom is a personal shopper. That’s the kicker. (Sayyy whaaa?! That’s awesome! -HCMSU)
TV Guilty Pleasure: Food network with Giada de Laurentiis. Can’t get enough of it, and I love to cook so that makes it even harder to get away from.
Most embarrassing moment: Freshman year I tripped in the middle of the cafeteria holding my full tray of food. It went everywhere, including a table full of girls… The thunderous applause at least made it somewhat bearable.
One person to be stranded on an island with: My best friend Joel or Alex, because we’d only be stranded as long as we wanted to.
Secret talent: I have a knack for writing cute poems. We use them sometimes to court sororities for events, but I have my own collection I don’t share.
Something on your bucket list: Definitely want to live in Italy someday. (Us too! –HCMSU)
Celebrity crush: Amber Heard from The Rum Diary. I was stunned the first time she came on screen along with every other guy in the room.
Campus crush: Well, only the best get crowned, and she’s one of them. Better yet I think this lovely lady is starting to fit my aforementioned description pretty well..
