Where is one place you would like to visit? I am 100 percent Irish and I have always wanted to go to Ireland.
What’s the most romantic thing you have done for a girl? This was the hardest question for me. I always strive to be spontaneous and a gentleman, so I had a couple of instances in mind, but one really stood out. In high school, I wanted to ask a girl to prom, but everyone started doing “promposals” and I felt a lot of people were copying each other, as well. So, I decided to go to take action. I went to the flower store, bought a dozen red roses, got a large McDonald’s Shamrock Shake and drove over to her house. I knocked on her door with the shake and flowers in both hands. When she answered the door, her face lit up and I said “Will you go to prom with me?” She said “yes,” of course.
Biggest fear: Snakes. They are scary in any environment!

If you were ruler of your own country, what would be the first law you introduced? Free tuition for college education. Especially since I know the pains of out-of state tuition.
What is one of your favorite quotes? “Someone will always be prettier. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be younger. But, they will never be you.”- Kanye West
How did you feel when I approached you about being a Campus Cutie? In high school, I never felt like I was attractive, so being approached was really flattering and made me really happy. Also, I called and told my dad and he said “It is because of my genes.”
