Name: David Quigley
He’s graduating from Colby this year and has a prestigious job in San Francisco with a social gaming company.
What’s your major and can you explain a little about the classes you take?
I’m a computer science major, which focuses on learning to write software.

I know you spent last January on top of a mountain, can you tell me a little about that?
Well last year I did an internship on top of Mount Washington. I worked on writing code for weather instruments. The software I wrote was for collecting specific weather data like wind speeds, temperature changes, and pressure changes. I rewrote the software so it could be more efficient. If you don’t sample fast enough you can’t get high wind speeds because you’re unable to collect the information fast enough so I made it more efficient.
What are your plans for next year?
Next year I’m heading out to San Francisco and working for Zynga. It’s a social gaming site that made the games like Words with Friends. I suppose I’ll be writing code for making games.I have some ideas, but I obviously can’t disclose them on the internet! I’m also looking forward to listening to bluegrass music. Of course, I think Words with Friends with Benefits would be a great success; Call Me Maybe.

Plans after college:
Pursue a career in writing and photography. Photography-wise, I’m interested in documenting real life stories. And I write poetry, so I’ll continue to write poetry. I like to write about tension when writing poetry, some kind of tension. It releases a lot, too.

Nip Tuck and The Wild. You have to watch The Wild! Its awesome. That’s my favorite show of all time.

Hmm … Halle Berry. She’s so gorgeous. No matter how old she gets, she’s always going to be gorgeous. That’s the perfect woman.
If you could create your ideal woman, what would she be like?
She would be like my mother. She is 5’7,” she has a beautiful smile, she’s intelligent, artsy, down to earth, and she doesn’t put value on material things. Yeah, that’s my ideal woman.
What are your biggest turn-offs?
If girls are shallow and all they worry about are appearance and material things. That’s a huge turn-off.
Lastly, what is your ideal first date?

How did you get involved with the Davis College Republicans (DCR)?
I am a junior transfer. At my junior college, I was founder and president of the SJDC Republicans. Before I was accepted into Davis, it was my intention to lead the College Republicans chapter at whichever school I chose to go to. The first meeting I attended, I made it clear that I was disappointed at the unsuccessful operation of the group. Within a couple weeks, I was asked to take over. After much work, we are now fairly large and a force to be reckoned with. The way I see it, it is not a hobby that I toy with every once in a while; rather, I think it is a way of life. It is my very strong opinion that our future depends entirely on the direction this country is going. I intend to do everything within my power to help people understand what is necessary to put this country on the right track. I am a profound supporter of liberty. At one point, I thought juggling DCR and school was a challenge, then I got involved with the Davis Marksmanship Society, the Ayn Rand Society, and was hired to run a political campaign.
What was it like commenting on the infamous pepper spray incident on Fox News?
I interviewed on Fox News Channel, Fox 40, KCRA, and other radio stations and websites. Appearing on these media outlets was fairly stressful at first, as it was the first time I had ever done so. After Fox, it became much easier and I was able to passionately focus on reaching out to anybody and everybody who would listen. DCR and I believe that it is our responsibility to represent the other side of the controversy regarding the pepper spray incident. We don’t like students getting sprayed any more than anybody else; however, we do believe that the occupiers who were sprayed were fully aware of their actions and entirely in control of the outcome of that day. I believe that people must take responsibility for their own actions, regardless of whether or not it is convenient. If you surround police officers, exclaim that you will not let them leave, and then bar them from doing so, you must take responsibility for the consequences.
Is it stressful being the campaign manager for Duane Chamberlain?
I was recently hired to manage the Yolo County Supervisor campaign for Duane Chamberlain, along with Dustin Call. We are working together to ensure that Duane is reelected, as we believe he is the obvious choice for the position. It has been stressful as a result of the time commitment and responsibility. The new position has been a sharp learning curve, but we are definitely making things happen and intend to come away with a victory for Duane. We have opened our campaign headquarters and are ready to rock and roll. We will be hiring a number of students to help us reach out to voters throughout the campaign. What are my responsibilities? Well, picture everything that must be done to run a political campaign. TV ads, dealing with the press, fundraising, gloriously walking precincts, and everything else.
What are your plans after you graduate?
It is my intention to attend the UCDC program, where I will intern either for the Cato Institute (leading libertarian think tank) or the Heritage Foundation (the world’s foremost conservative think tank). Ideally, I will be hired to remain on staff after my internship and then pursue law school. As I often say, I intend to lobby so I can yell at the top of my lungs that the federal government has reached too deeply into our lives and must give liberty and self-accountability back to Americans.
Most embarrassing moment?
Well, I like to think that I don’t have embarrassing moments; sadly, this is not the case. I haven’t ever publicly shared this with anybody, but here goes… During my first kiss, I managed to slip and fall in the mud. She won’t let me live that one down.
Plans for Valentine’s Day?
Well, as I don’t actually have any glorious plans for the day, Singles Awareness Day will be spent in five classes, racquetball practice, studying for upcoming midterms, and somehow spending time at work.
Who do you look up to and why?
I look up to my father. He was born into an income-challenged family, had a full time job at 14 and carried the burden of three jobs at my age in order to support his new family. He has earned every penny that he has, learned many lessons the hard way, and I respect that. If it weren’t for him, I would be learning my own lessons the hardest way, rather than learning by his counsel. It is due to him that I am able to have such a profound passion for the American Dream and understand what it takes to have responsibility for my own future. He also helped me establish the intensity I have for taking care of those I love.
What is something most people don’t know about you?
I love to cook in my spare time. I don’t mean the run-of-the-mill college student making “fancy” pasta. I mean that there is nothing better than spending an evening preparing something excellent, like a slow-roasted pork tenderloin or steak thrown over a bed of wild rice, with a rich wine sauce drizzled over the top. I enjoy cooking for a group of friends and cracking open a bottle of wine. On that note, I also grew up in wine country and have spent many hours working in wineries, learning how to make and bottle wine. It is a special privilege to crush fruit, barrel it into wine, bottle it, and bring it home to open with a nice dinner.
A QUICKIE (survey) with the Campus Cutie:
Favorite Color: Burgundy, like a deep, rich, red wine
Celeb Crush: Nobody in particular, but I am pretty sure one of those striking brunettes would make the list (Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, etc..)
Favorite Ice Cream Flavor: Rocky Road or a good Cookie Dough
Favorite Athlete: Nobody by name, but have you seen world-renowned parkour artists? I would say that jumping off a two or three story building and living to tell the tale is pretty darned impressive.
Dream Vacation: The dream vacation is not necessarily confined to a specific place, but more a specific person. The perfect vacation is a burden-free getaway with the right girl, to a nice, quiet place.
Giants or Patriots? Not a football guy, going to be honest. Couldn’t really care less about the teams. But I do competitively play racquetball, if that gets me something.
Favorite Feature in a Girl? Fire. Nothing can beat a girl that challenges me and keeps me on my toes.
And most importantly, Boxers or Briefs? Boxer briefs

Why did you choose USF?
I wanted to be on the West Coast. It came down to USF and Santa Clara, but I chose USF because I wanted to be in the city of San Francisco.
Favorite thing about USF:
The people and the atmosphere at the school are really great.
Dream job: French teacher in the U.S.
Three fun facts: I have a twin sister, I’m colorblind, and I love to cook.
What do you look for in a girl? I like a girl who is outgoing and a lot of fun.
Any celebrity crushes? Not at all. In my opinion, when you don’t know someone it’s hard to have a crush on them.
If you could trade places with anyone, who would it be?
A famous photographer because you get to travel a lot, which is great. Also, you get to see the world from a different point of view, through your art and the people you meet.
If you could have dinner with anyone dead or alive, who would it be?
Cartier Bresson, a French photographer, because I really love his work and he made a revolution in photography. He took photos the way he lived, as if everything was a “decisive moment”.

Getting to Know Steven
What is one of your pet peeves and why does it bother you?
The thing that really gets on my nerves is when people make noises while I’m trying to concentrate. Whether it is loud gum chewing or heavy breathing, if I can’t concentrate it bothers me to no end.
What is the most confusing thing a girl can do?
The most confusing thing a girl can do is to assume that I know exactly what she’s thinking. It bugs me when girls know exactly what they want or where they want to go but yet they say they don’t know just to see if I can guess right. I don’t see the fun in that, especially when I guess wrong.
What do you think about girls “playing hard to get?”Are you against it or for it?
I think to an extent it is really nice. If a girl doesn’t make me work at least a little, it comes off as if they might be too “easy.” On the other hand though, if they play too hard to get, I usually get the impression that they just aren’t interested. It is very nice to at least get a clear message whether they’re into you too or not because that, for me, tells me whether I should try to pursue or not.
Which traits in a girl will sweep you off your feet (and possibly make you want to introduce her to your friends/family)? Why?
I think the most important traits in a girl are ambition, politeness, and just a good personality in general. An ambitious girl who has her own plan and is working hard to get to it is amazing because it is nice to be around people who appreciate long-term goals and dreams. Politeness is important mostly just because there are so many people (girls and guys included) nowadays that are just rude and I’m not a fan of all that. Finally, a “good” personality just includes traits that make me want to hang out with them all of the time and knowing that they are a genuine person.
What are some major “turn-offs” in girls?
Girls who cheat. They’re the worst and they give all girls a bad reputation. Lying is another HUGE turn-off. If I’m going to date a girl, I’m going to be a hundred percent honest with them and expect the same in return. Girls who are sloppy, try too hard to get attention, or always have to be in the spotlight are also some big turn-offs.
What is your ideal perfect date?
My ideal date would be with someone who is nice, funny, and cute and where conversation flowed so easily that I wouldn’t even have to think about it. I like doing unique things, so even though the dinner and a movie sort of thing is nice once in awhile, I’d much rather head out near the bay (I’m from the San Francisco area and love the city) and look at the water and lights of the city on the waterfront while trying a tiny hole-in-the-wall eatery. I really like when the girl chips into planning a little bit too because I like doing things that both of us have never done. It makes it more exciting.
Do you believe in love? If so, what is love to you?
Yes, I believe in love. To me, love is the feeling you get when you wish every second you spend with someone won’t end. Also, love is when the thought of the person instantly makes you happy no matter what you were feeling beforehand. I think that if you see someone and get butterflies when you see them, even after you’ve known them or been with them for a long time, I believe that’s love.
Why should girls date you and what makes you different from any other guy?
I am honest, down to earth, and just enjoy being around people. I can get out and have a good time, but I can also stay in and relax. I am good listener and I always help out anyone who needs it. I am the “sensitive” type of guy that just enjoys making the girl I’m dating happy. I love doing new things and dating me wouldn’t be boring or cookie-cutter. I’m not the typical d-bag college guy and I respect girls the way they should be respected.
