Where are you from and what were you doing before coming to De Smet?

I’m from Kansas City and I went to Rockhurst High School in Kansas City and was in the graduating class of 2015. Then, I went on to Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio and I graduated there in May. I’m here doing my ASC year and I joined this program right out of college and I was assigned to De Smet.

Q: For your last ever meal, what would you be eating?
A: I would definitely have spaghetti and meatballs made by my mom with an iced tea. Sweetened of course. That’s my last meal for sure.

Q: Favorite Movie?
A: I’m big into like Sci-Fi movies. My favorite movie is what I think to be Matthew McConaughey’s best and that is Interstellar. It’s a long movie but definitely worth it. It is a space sort of thing. It’s definitely fiction, but it is just a fantastic Matthew McConaughey movie with all his looks and everything.

Q: Weird Hobbies or things you have done?
A: I was a mascot for Xavier in college and it was a fantastic experience. Being out on the basketball court for the games amazing. I’m also a big golfer, I love playing golf. Since it’s my first time being in St. Louis, I want to experience different courses and I am always looking forward to enjoying time with my brothers while I’m here.

Q: How did you spend your summer break?
A: Once graduation ended, I went home for the summer and umpired some baseball. That’s kinda my summer job pretty much. I also went on a few trips with my family. I really like spending some time at home.

Q: If you could take the students at De Smet anywhere in the world on a field trip, where would you take them?
A: I would probably take them to Kansas City. St. Louis doesn’t like Kansas City and vice versa. I would take them on a nice tour of Kansas City. I would do it so Kansas City and St. Louis can become friends.

Q: What are your must-have smartphone apps?
A: Probably YouTube. I’m a big YouTube fan. I love watching some good YouTube videos. I also like the ESPN app because I enjoy watching sports. I’m a big fan of football coming up this fall. Really those two are must-haves.
