Interests: I like all sports a lot. I’m trying to teach myself to play the guitar right now, which is fun. I like Michigan football. I like springtime the best out of all four seasons. The cafeteria is a good place to meet and greet people. There’s this TV show called Baseball Tonight on ESPN, and it’s my favorite show.
Leadership roles on campus: I’m the RA of Ruth Dorm, and I was on Student Senate last year.
Activities: I’m in New Crew, and I play any/all of the intramurals. I also coach a 7th and 8th grade boys’ basketball team at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic School. There are two separate teams, the 7th grade team and the 8th grade team. The 7th grade team was really good this year, so we’re looking to come back strong next year.
Why do you love Concordia? I like the relationships that you make with people, because you can walk around campus and you know everyone and can have a relationship with everyone, assuming you’re not scared to talk to people, which I’m not. The teachers are all friendly, and they care about you, and you learn to care about them, which is a good environment to go to college in.
