What celebrity would you invite to a dinner party and why?
Definitely Elon Musk because I would love to know what’s going on in his brain and how he thinks on a day to day basis. Plus, maybe he’d let me drive his Tesla.
What is your stance on the fraternity's Oatmeal Raisin vs. White Macadamia nut debate?
This is a very contested topic and I’ve gone back and forth a few times. On one hand, Oatmeal Raisin is a titan of the cookie world and will pretty much always taste good. On the other hand, White Macadamia Nut, when done correctly, is a far superior tasting cookie. I think I’m going to have to go with White Macadamia Nut on this one.
Spirit animal:
I would say I most closely identify with sloths. I enjoy sleeping 10-12 hours per day, my diet consists mainly of leaves, and I move at a pace of approximately 2 meters per minute when going to class.
Why did you rush PSP?
When I first found PSP at the involvement fair I was instantly drawn in by Luke and Grant’s friendliness and approachability. I wanted to see what PSP was all about so I went to the first rush event and by the end of the night I knew that I had to be in PSP. All of the brothers were so incredible and made me feel so welcomed. In addition to that, the events that I heard about (retreat, Battleship, museums, etc.) seemed like so much fun and the brothers sounded like they all had amazing times with each other at them.
What are you looking forward to now that you’re a brother?
I look forward to a lot of things in my future with PSP but I’ll pick a couple of my favs. I really look forward to just hanging out with the brothers and getting to know everyone on a deeper level. I also look forward to getting more involved with PSP and taking on a leadership role in the fraternity. I want to do my part to ensure that the Beta Iota chapter of PSP continues to do great things into the far future.

Career Goals/ Post Graduate Goals:
After completing my undergrad my dream is to go on to grad school to pursue a Master’s degree and potentially a PhD in either Chemical or Nuclear Engineering. After that the dream is to either work in the petroleum industry or work for a company that’s on the forefront of alternative energy research.
