What college are you going to/ applying to? Auburn University, Ole Miss and South Carolina.

Who was your first Wesleyan crush? When? Abby Weatherly in ninth grade.

If you were stranded on an island, what three things would you bring with you? Fishing pole, animal crackers and my phone.

Where do you expect to see yourself in 10 years? With a wife and children, working in a major city.

What was your most embarrassing moment at Wesleyan? Sophomore year, Pierce Rudder told Jordyn Shackford I was going to ask her to homecoming. I did not know her at all and didn’t even know who she was. I then had to go the whole next day at school telling her friends that I was not asking her to homecoming.
