Sophomore
Homer Glen, Illinois


Why Central?

I chose Central because my favorite color is red. Central also happens to be a place where I can get a great education without the distractions of going to a big public university.

Favorite professor and why?

My favorite professor is Doctor Professor AL Hibbard because he always tells math jokes that tickle my fancy.

In your iPod?

Inside my iPod is a motherboard, hard drive, headphone jack, battery, and charging port. However, saved in that hard drive are two soundtracks: Ironic by Alanis Morissette, and the audio book of the Odyssey by Homer

What do you plan to major in and why?

I plan on majoring in Mathematics and Physics here at Central. After graduating, I plan on going to grad school to study Aerospace Engineering.

If you could master one life skill you don’t have right now, what would it be?

One life skill I hope to develop is the ability to recite every eminem song ever written. This is something that will definitely be useful later in life. In addition, if possible, I'd like to master telekinesis, as it would make everyday tasks much easier.

The musician who you wish you could switch places with?

If I could switch places with one musician it would be Tupac, because people think he's dead but he's really alive in all of our hearts.

Where would you go in a time machine?

If I had I time machine I'd go back to the mid 17th century and discover calculus a few years before Isaac Newton and go down in history as the smartest man ever.

What is the best pre-match meal?

Before a match I like to feed on the fear of my opponents. It really makes me feel like a million bucks.

Celebrity crush

My celebrity crush would have to be Emma Watson, because she played that one guy in Harry Potter.

What is the least favorite nickname you’ve ever had?

I've never had friends that liked me enough to give me a nickname, but when I was little my mom used to call me fuzzy which doesn't seem to make much sense, so that would probably be my only, therefore least favorite, nickname.

Favorite TV Show

My favorite TV show would have to be How I Met Your Mother. It's a quality show, and I plan on spending at least 20% of my life watching it.

The one thing people don’t about Coach Donahue

One thing people don't know about Coach Donahue is he can rap Rap God by Eminem almost as fast as me.

Why do you love Central wrestling?

I love Central Wrestling because we're such a close knit team. I freak out after being alone for more than five seconds and my teammates let me spend every minute of every day within a two foot radius of them.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Ten years from now I'll hopefully be diving out of my private jet at about 20,000 feet hoping to land in my 6,000,000 gallon swimming pool. I'll buy both of these items after winning the Powerball Lottery for the third time.

Favorite food from Central Market

My favorite food from Central Market is the sliced beets in the salad bar. Beets were invented in 1934 by my favorite scientist, Nikola Tesla.

Bucket list

My bucket list:

1. 10 gallon Home Depot bucket.

2. 5 gallon Home Depot bucket.

3. Small plastic bucket I use to make sand castles at the beach.

4. 5 gallon galvanized steel bucket I will someday use for gardening.

5. 6.5 gallon plastic, rectangular prism shaped bucket I use when I mop the floor at home.

6. Go skydiving.

7. 5 gallon steel bucket that I flip upside down and light firecrackers under to make a really loud noise.

8. 20 gallon bucket my family uses as a garbage can in our garage.

9. 2 gallon Terra cotta bucket I plant my orchids in.

10. 30 gallon bucket I fill up with water and use as a swimming pool.

11. A large bucket full of spare doorknobs in case I need to replace any doorknobs around the house.
