What is the most embarrassing song on your iTunes? I’d have to admit it’s the Disney songs and the boy band songs. Probably Justin Bieber too.

What is your most embarrassing Sewanee story? I haven’t had many embarrassing Sewanee moments but my most embarrassing moment happened in grad school. My girlfriend was graduating that day and I was going to meet her entire family. I got up and got showered and realized that my boxers were in the dryer. I hung my towel up in the bathroom and walked out into the main room. The dryer was stacked so when I open the door, it blocked my face but not the bottom half. I searched through the dryer until I found the ones I wanted. Closed the dryer door and looked up at the big living room bay window. I saw my girlfriend, her mom, dad, sister, grandma, and great aunt all peering directly into the window at me with absolutely no clothes on. Needless to say, it was an interesting way to meet the family. They all smiled a lot during that day and at dinner.

What’s your favorite movie? I love the Star Wars movies (especially the ones with Yoda) and most Disney cartoons (especially Lion King).

If you had a theme song played every time you walked into a room, what would it be? Everyday I’m Hustlin’ and Story of My Life (I actually posted a video of myself singing it once before).

What made you come to Sewanee? I absolutely loved the students and people when I came to visit. The relationships I’ve built have been the absolute best and I couldn’t ask for better.

What has been your favorite Sewanee Memory? I always love meeting families and seeing people during grad week and graduation. I cry like a baby!!!

Where is your favorite place on campus? I love the cross at sunset and Green’s View. Shockingly, I have hiked to Bridal Veil Falls and love it when the water is flowing.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? That’s a very good question. Hopefully I’ll still be helping students and being a resource and giving out “Hagi Hugs” daily to all who need a good hug.

WE LOVE YOU HAGI!
