Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and so is this well-toned and well-tanned gentleman. Neil Tanner, an Arlington native and senior here at UT, will certainly get you collegiettes off your couch and into the gym, where he practically lives. You can either catch a glimpse of him at the business school or spot him flexing his muscles at Gregory Gym. But before you do that, it’d be helpful for you to know a thing or two about this lad.
First things first, he’s a management major with minors in finance and African-American studies. So you can be sure that if you’re picked amongst the flock of wildflowers, you’ll learn a thing or two. He plans on starting his own necktie company that does some social good; this means he has a soft spot -go for it! He looks up to his father and older brother, (points for being a family guy!). In short, you’re getting the full package here.
You may need to know that he has two sides to his personality: a laid-back Neil and an “in-the-zone” Neil. Being president of his fraternity, Kappa Alpha Psi, and being part of the Undergraduate Business Council-VIP Committee, doesn’t leave him with too much time on his hands to spare, so when it comes to girls (wait for it), he wants a person with a good sense of humor. She has to be able to bring life by balancing out his serious and busy lifestyle. He says that the first thing he notices in a girl is her smile, so maybe flashing those pearly whites when you see him walking by won’t hurt. Who doesn’t love a ray of sunshine?
Even though he’s a very goal-oriented man and a little obsessed with working on his fitness, he still leaves room for a little sweetness in his life: chocolate cheesecake! Share a slice and bond over the latest movie or simply each other’s company. Everything in moderation though, you don’t want high sugar levels.
We can’t do all the work collegiettes, so be on the lookout for this HCTX Campus Cutie (impromptu Valentine, maybe?). Who knows, cupid just might shoot his arrow and not miss.
