What’s your favorite thing about being in a fraternity?
My favorite thing about being in a fraternity is always having someone to hang out with, and always having something to do. I hate being bored, and AKL is always really interesting.
 
What’s your favorite memory of being in the house so far?
That’s a tough one. My favorite memory is probably waking up on the first morning of Grand Prix last spring to 50 screaming sorority girls way before my 7:30. That’s my first real Grand Prix memory, and that was definitely one of my favorite weeks.
 
What are you looking forward to most for the rest of the semester and upcoming years at Purdue?
I’m looking forward to just enjoying all of my time here at Purdue. Once I graduate, I’ll have to become a full-fledged adult, and I’m not ready for that yet. All of the late nights of hard work and classes are definitely worth all of the opportunities I have to spend time with great people.
 
What do you look for most in a girl?
I look for a girl who’s interesting, easy to talk to, and has a strong personality. If I have to keep the conversation going, it’s a turn off. I want someone who I can carry on a good discussion with.
 
If you could plan a perfect date what would you choose to do?
This wouldn’t be a good first date, but I’d really like to spend a day out on a lake with a girl, boating and swimming, and then follow it up with some dinner on the grill, and a nice fire afterwards. It’s on the simpler side, but it’d be pretty great.
 
If you could date any celeb, who would it be?
I’d probably pick Emma Stone. I think she’s hilarious and would be a blast to be with. She’s also really good looking, really the best of both worlds in my opinion.
 
How would you describe your style, and what’s your go-to outfit?
I would have to say that my style is a little on the preppy side. With my clothes, I go for a look that is young, crisp, and fresh. My go-to outfit, when I have to wear something a little nicer, would have to be my brown wingtip shoes, slim fit khakis, and a blue and white checkered shirt. I like it because I can dress it up or down with a blazer or rolling the sleeves up, it has a red contrasting inner collar and cuffs. Around campus though, I’ll usually wear shorts, Sperrys, and something with letters. I try to keep it simple when I can.
 
What artists are currently playing on your iPod?
I’ve been getting into more punk and pop-punk recently. I’m always looking for new music, but I’ve been listening to a lot of Title Fight, The Wonder Years, blink-182, and Four Year Strong.
 
Who’s one artist you’d love to see live?
If I had to see anyone live, it would definitely be the Jimi Hendrix Experience. I’ve been fortunate enough to see most of my favorite bands live, but he’s an act I’ll never get the chance to see. The man changed music forever.
 
What’s left to do on your Purdue bucket list?
Being under 21, I still haven’t had the chance to partake in breakfast club or do any bar crawls, and that’s definitely going to happen next year. I still need to explore the tunnels of Purdue and get on the roofs of buildings around campus
 
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In 10 years I hope to either be attending graduate school or have recently graduated from it. I’m looking to earn an MBA from MIT, and get a job somewhere in aerospace. Ideally I’ll be doing something with jet engines, but I have no idea where the job market is going to end up.
