What do you love about Ole women? “Simply put, they’re people. They pursue their own interests and do their own thing – you never really run into two Ole women that are exactly the same. That’s pretty cool.”
Hobbies? “I play the string bass! That takes up most of my spare time, because it’s my job and I play for several different groups. Other than that, I’ve been known to play Dungeons and Dragons from time to time.”
Activities you are involved in? “I’m in the Orchestra, and I’m the bassist for the Runestones Accordion Club.”
Call or text? “Text, definitely.”
What is the most romantic thing you have done for a girl? “I’m fairly awful at the whole romance thing – I think one time I wrote a poem and did some Friday flowers or something.”
What is your favorite place to study? “I find it hard to focus when there’s someone around. Sometimes my room works, sometimes it’s Mellby lounge, sometimes it’s the basement of the library.”
Favorite food? “Gooey butter cake.”
Favorite movie? “Kickpuncher 2: The Fightening”
Any secret or hidden talents? “Not really. I own some awesome underwear, though. For the most part those are pretty hidden.”
Finish this sentence: A girl looks her best when… “she’s leaning in for a kiss with me. Haha, no, but seriously, definitely when she’s doing an activity that she loves.”
Describe yourself in one word. “Introvert.”
What are you most excited about right now in your life? “The orchestra is going on tour in China this summer. It’s going to be awesome for about thirty different reasons.”
What is your ideal date? “A Caf date is actually pretty fantastic. First off, I don’t have to spend money that I don’t have, and it’s a fairly comfortable environment. It’s an easy place to get to know someone better. After that, maybe walking around or just hanging out somewhere. Honestly, the ideal date is more the person than than the place.”
What he wants Ole women to know: “Every woman I’ve met on this campus is pretty awesome – y’all are doing an awesome job at… you know, being women.”
If you were a superhero, what would your superhero name and power be? “My super name would be The Honorable Captain Pajamashark the Radiant, Esquire. I don’t know what my power would be, but I don’t think you really need one with a name like that.”
