I’m involved in:Purdue Varsity Glee Club, Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, Interfraternity Council Associate Director of Membership, Skull and Crescent Greek Leadership and Scholarship Honorary, Liberal Arts Student Council, Public Relations Student Society of America, Health and Kinesiology Club, Purdue University Dance Marathon, National Society of Collegiate Scholars honoree, Lambda Pi Eta National Communications honoree, Warren P. Thayer Scholar, Purdue University Visitor Information Center volunteer
In my spare time, I: hit the co-rec, lead group fitness classes at Newtone Health and Fitness
Dream job: I’ve got a couple, but both with a  common thread. I’d love to work in professional sports (preferably, MLB with the New York Yankees) as a PR/HR specialist or as a strength and conditioning coach
Favorite local restaurant: Hungary’s, Qdoba, Scotty’s, Little Mexico II
Favorite pig-out food: Brunodough, MadMush Cheesestix
Most embarrassing moment: Those are stories I only tell in person, but there are many…
Most memorable Purdue experience:I’ll always remember waking up that first home football Saturday. I’d never factored in to my Purdue decision, how great it would be to be at a Big Ten school. The All-American Marching Band was rolling down Intramural Dr. toward  Slayter and crowds of people flooded the campus. It was a great day!
When I feel like spoiling myself, I: stop in for a DenPop
Favorite movie: Back to the Future I, II, & III
Acquaintances would be surprised to know:  I’m a glee clubber and a fraternity man.
Favorite cartoon character:  Definitely Jerry. You’d have to give the nod to Tom, being so much larger and intimidating, but Jerry always found a way to get the job done.
Funniest Purdue experience: It’s a regular occurrence to meet somebody who knows somebody, whether it’s in class or out at a party, it makes this campus of 40,000 shrink down to size
I’m inspired by:   the work ethic, determination, and dedication of my parents in everything they do
Why I chose Purdue: : My brother, Brian (M.E ’06), truly got the most out of his Purdue career and always bragged about being a Boilermaker. It’s great to be a part of that bond.
Best-kept secret about Purdue:  the Purdue Varsity Glee Club…these guys are good!
What's playing on my IPod: Country, Rap, and just about anything else. There’s a time for everything.
