Favorite hangouts as an IU student:
I spent many a moon at the Bluebird enjoying the music and ambiance. However most of the time I spent time hanging out at friends’ houses. Now I enjoy an after-work beverage at The Irish Lion and the relaxing atmosphere of Yogi’s.

Most enjoyable aspects of living in a college town:
The pulse of Bloomington never stops. There are so many opportunities to be involved with civic and non-profit organizations. I love being able to walk through campus during every season and attend IU sporting events.

What dorm did you live in on campus?
Teter Rabb-1, dude.

Fondest memory of IU as a student:
Spring 2002 - IU in the Final Four. The Duke win was ridiculous! Parading down Dunn to Kirkwood with thousands of my closest IU friends. Going to the championship game in Atlanta was an incredible experience. It was the greatest semester of my college career!

Which IU sport or Bloomington cultural event do you enjoy the most?
I totally respect our soccer program. It does not get the recognition and attention it deserves. They’re National Champs! Of course I’m a basketball and football fan as well.
