From all my years at St. Ambrose, I'll never forget: Countless hours completing school projects in a cubical at the library. Having philosophical discussions with my roommates at two in the morning. Greatest Grains the best organic deli I have ever been too. The rain storms in Davenport and how campus would become a monsoon. Friendly people on campus who would say hi a lot. I have never been to a place where everyone greets each other as much. My three sociology professors and their often entertaining ideologies on the world. The kindness and helpfulness of Ann Austin.
Favorite SAU class: Any Soc. class with Dr. Martin Hansen
Favorite food: Raspberries, coffee and veggie omelets
What's in my CD player: Modest Mouse
Favorite book: The Art of Resilience by Carol Orsborn
Famous person (living or dead) I'd most like to meet: Peter Jennings.
If I had all the time in the world, I'd spend it: On top of a mountain meditating.
What really gets on my nerves is when: I cannot stand people who deceive others and lie. I also have a pet peeve of people who cough and clear their throat with out covering their mouth or saying excuse me. Both behaviors are rude and show a lack of good judgment according to me.
If I could change one thing, I would: In my perfect world people would only say what they mean and feel.
Peak experience:  I don't think I have had that experience yet in life. While I was in college it would have to be after I took my last final my senior year. The sense of relief that I made through college and had no more school work to do was liberating.
Favorite vacation spot: Chicago or a weekend getaway to the mountains

I wish I knew how to: Draw
Personal motto or favorite quote: "Life moves upward and lets the mistakes sink down behind it." The I Ching
Advice to St. Ambrose freshmen: Pick your roommate wisely. A bad roommate can ruin your whole semester. Do an internship no matter what your major is in.
