What do you love about Ole women?
 Besides the fact that they’re all gorgeous, I love that Ole women are genuine and friendly.
 
Hobbies?
 Scuba diving, photography, traveling, water-skiing, golf and running
 
Activities you are involved in?
Cross-Country, Track, English department TA, and English Honor Society
 
Call or text?
 Texting works for casual conversation, but calling is important for meaningful conversations or for topics that might be misconstrued in a text. It is nice to hear someone’s voice too; it’s more personal.
 
What is the most romantic thing you have done for a girl?
 I drove to her house unannounced, parked the car down the block out of sight, and surprised her with flowers and dinner.
 
What is your favorite place to study?
 The library or my room.
 
Favorite food?
 My mom’s cooking. Or Buffalo Wild Wings.
 
Any secret or hidden talents?
 I’ve been told I can sing semi-decently.
 
Finish this sentence: A girl looks her best when…
 She feels her best and exudes self-confidence accordingly.
 
Describe yourself in one word.
 Reserved
 
Favorite Holiday?
 Christmas
 
Pet peeves?
 Superficiality. I get annoyed with superficial people, conversations, and relationships.
 
What is your ideal date?
 I like the prototypical dinner and a movie. Bowling, or going on a walk, or just talking are good too.
 
What he wants Ole women to know:
 I don’t intend to look intimidating. I’m actually rather approachable. Also, have a good Interim! See you in February!
 
Best pick up line?
 I could probably never bring myself to use a pick-up line, but since you ask:
“Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?”
 
Pirates or Ninjas?
 Pirates. This is the tale of Captain Jack Sparrow.

I write the Campus Cutie blog for St. Olaf Her Campus!
