Why did you choose Central?
               

I transferred to Central halfway through my Sophomore year. I knew some of the guys on the baseball team prior to transferring and they told me a lot of good things.  I was looking for somewhere to go and the recommendations from my friends and the fact it is close to home all sold me.

Favorite professor and why?

My favorite professor is Professor Bergman. She was awesome to have as both an instructor and an advisor. 

Who are your go-to musical artists?               

My favorite musical artist in no particular order: Don Diablo, Martin Garrix, R3hab, Two Friends, Odesza, and Illenium

You’re majoring in accounting because?              
 
I’m majoring in Accounting because I had an amazing accounting teacher in high school and he made it really fun so I decided to stick with it in college.

The best pizza at George’s?               
 
Pepperoni
 
Favorite professional sports team               

Dallas Cowboys
 
Worst thing you ever did as a child? What was the punishment? 
               
When I was a kid we had a pantry door that was the perfect height for me to hang on and I would always swing on it when I walked by. Right before my 5th birthday I broke the door off the hinges so my mom returned all my birthday presents and got me a door.
 
What is your favorite throwback song?               

My Shiny Teeth and Me- Chip Skylark
 
Would you rather live on the beach or in a cabin in the woods?               

I’d rather live on a beach for sharks, most dolphinately. Shell yeah that’d be awesome.
 
What was the weirdest prank call you have ever made?                

I’m not sure if I have any in the ole memory bank! It was probably me and my friends in middle school calling random numbers while pounding mtn dews before going ding dong ditching to end the night.
 
Favorite TV Show               

Game of Thrones or La Casa De Papel. One Tree Hill also gets an honorable mention.

What’s one thing people might not know about Coach Schirm? 

He does a phenomenal Jack Nicholson impersonation from a Few Good Men.
 
What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central Baseball?                

Running the Lemming Race with the boys! It is by far the most fun event of the year.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”               

Hopefully be traveling the world getting paid to review music festivals. I don’t know how I’m going to do that but that would be the dream.

Favorite food from Central Market               

Turkey Pastrami sandwich with Gouda cheese.
