All About!

If your plane crashed, you were stranded on a deserted island and could only bring one thing with you and what would you bring?
Probably Jess, just to be cheesy, but she’s my best friend.

If you could describe yourself in one word, what would it be?
Outgoing

What are your post-college plans?
I plan to get a job with a minor league baseball team, work my way up and hopefully get the opportunity to work in the major league.

What feature do you like most about yourself (looks, personality or both)?
Probably the fact that I can talk to people so easily.

Favorite food?
Steak. Traditional guy answer, right?

Favorite Drink?
Coca-Cola

Cats or dogs?
Cats. I have a cat named Boots. He has little paws that are white and a black body.

Biggest fear?
I’m actually afraid of heights even though it’s kind of the traditional answer.

Biggest pet peeve?
Hmm there’s a lot! But, my biggest one is people saying ‘like’ too much because I get caught on to it and then I start saying it too much.

Favorite memory?
Probably when I won my soccer game after my dad lost his job because it was a bonding moment we never had before.

What’s the most interesting class you’ve taken so far, and why?
Probably Sports in the Media because it is just all about sports and I learned things I didn’t know before, and sense it’s my major, it’s awesome!

What’s the most awkward situation you’ve ever been in?
I told my friend that his girlfriend looked like the girl that Goofy’s son was dating in the Goofy Movie and she was right behind me when I said it! She still remembers…awkward!

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Probably going to school so far away because I wasn’t even expecting or thinking about college until my junior year of high school.

What’s been your proudest moment?
When I led my soccer team to the most victories in the season as captain.

Least?
When I dated a sophomore when I was a senior haha it was a bad idea. Don’t do it, it just doesn’t work.

Anything interesting you’ve done at Oklahoma State?
I was the announcer for a girls’ basketball game and that was a fun experience.

Girl Talk!

What is your biggest turn off?
A very high pitched voice. They are so annoying!

Biggest turn on?
Pretty eyes.

What’s the worst date you’ve ever been on?
The state fair, we ended up just buying food and ignoring each other. This was with that sophomore and the food wasn’t cheap!

The best?
The one where I took my current girlfriend out and gave her a promise ring.

How did you guys meet?
She transferred to my high school junior year and that’s how we meet. So cheesy, I know!
