A scholar, leader, athlete, and a gentlemen.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
On my way to becoming a serious figure in the health and fitness industry through personal training and group fitness.
If you could give advice to anyone wanting to be in your position one day, what would it be?
Take in every good moment. We always here from our elders “time flies as you age”, and it`s so true. University is such a short 4 years, and so it is important that people experience and enjoy every moment of it.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
My first ever celebrity crush has to be Ginger Spice from the Spice Girls. Growing up in the 90’s everyone loved the Spice Girls. So naturally, Ginger Spice became my first ever celebrity crush.
When you’re feeling down, what can you always count on to cheer you up?
When I’m feeling down, I can always count on my fraternity brothers to pick me back up and set me right. Being so far away from home, its not easy to go home on weekends to see family like it is for people who live closer. So the fraternity is my home away from home. I know that whenever I need a little pick-me-up, my fraternity brothers will be there.
What song gets you pumped up and ready to go in the morning?
The song the gets me most pumped up in the morning is ‘Greyhound’ by Swedish House Mafia. Listening to it really get the blood running. I always feel like going for a run whenever I hear it in the morning.
What is the scariest thing you’ve ever done?
The scariest thing I’ve ever done is scale a small mountain in Scotland. Me and a buddy decided to avoid the traditional path up and decided to make our own path. There were definitely a couple times that I could have easily fallen!
One of the friendliest guys around, if you see Calvin around campus, make sure to say hi!
