Why did you choose Central?
I chose Central because of its home feel. When I came on my first visit I instantly knew it was the college I wanted to go to. It was in a smaller town and not in a big city making me feel more comfortable because of the similarity to my home.
Favorite professor and why?
My favorite professor is Maggie Schlerman because she has helped me along my journey through college. She would give me advice on what the best decision to make when I was at a crossroads. I also had her as a professor when studying abroad which was very cool because, of her knowledge of the area and her giving us the ability to try new things on our own and educate us on the culture.
Who are your go-to musical artists?
My go-to musical artists are Aerosmith/ Steven Tyler, Whiskey Myer, Chris Stapleton, and Jon Bellion.
You’re majoring in business because?
I am majoring in Business Administration and Accounting, and minoring in Non-For-Profit Management. When I came to Central I wanted to major in Business Administration because I wanted to be able to run the family business when I am done with college. When in the business major I had to take an accounting course and ended up really enjoying accounting and then decided to add an Accounting major. I then wanted to have an entrepreneurial minor but the classes didn’t match my schedule but when I went to study abroad I took a couple non-for-profit classes and realized I only had to take a couple more to get the minor. I then decided to get the minor and now I am interning at a non-for-profit WesleyLife Hearthstone.
Would you rather live on the beach or in a cabin in the woods? Why?
I would rather live in a cabin in the woods. Ever since I was little I have absolutely loved camping in the woods and enjoyed nature. I love going hiking, canoeing, and camping and I would really enjoy spending my life out in woods. I would love to own a cabin in the woods in Virginia when I am older and travel there for vacation and just leave all my technology at home so that way I can take a step back and relax without interruption.
If you won a million dollars, what would you do with it?
If I won a million dollars I would pay off all of my debt, buy myself a couple of toys such as a new truck, a boat, a couple jet skis, and a couple four-wheelers. Then with the rest of the money I would use to buy my own house and give to my parents to help them finish some projects they want done to their house. If I had any leftover I would invest it into the stock market.
If you could choose one hobby that may seem out of reach right now, what hobby would you take up and why?
I would choose traveling to different countries and learning about other cultures as a hobby. The reason for this is because I want to be able to travel the world and see many different things, meet different people, and try new foods.
Favorite season?
My favorite season is spring because, this is the time I am able to run outside after being cooped up inside all winter.
What’s your favorite family tradition?
My favorite family tradition is when we have Thanksgiving at my house. We have about 50 family members come over throughout the day and eat turkey, ham, mashed potatoes, corn and many more food, and have a good time watching the football games. Then we look at the magazines to see the sales available on Black Friday.
If you could time travel, where would you go?
If I could time travel I think I would go to the 1980’s because I am a huge fan of 80’s music and I am huge Chicago Bears fan and I would have loved to watch Walter Payton and the 85’ Bears play football. I am also a huge fan of 80’s movies such as Ghost Busters, Ferris Buller’s Day Off, The Goonies, The Breakfast Club, and many more.
Favorite TV Show
My favorite TV show is Parks and Recreation
What’s one thing people might not know about Coach Donahue?
Coach Donahue is a very passionate individual and puts in the time and hours to make each one of us the best we can be.
What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central Wrestling?
My favorite part of being a member of the Central Wrestling Team is the fact I get to go all out every day with my best friends.
