In 10 years, I will be…
Married to a beautiful woman who is a doctor and either be teaching kindergarten or the best stay-at-home dad ever, running my own top-notch day care. Maybe there will be a child or two. I'll have to discuss that with my wife.

What's the coolest thing you've done since you began attending Dana?
The coolest thing I've done since I joined Dana is my own laundry. A close second would be becoming a Dana Diplomat.

Why did you choose Dana?
Financial aid was a big help and I like the smallness, personability of classes, enabling professors to be good friends.

What's the best thing about being a student at Dana?
Extra-curricular offerings and job placement. Also, Dana is great if you are the know-everyone-around type or a funny guy like me.

What will you remember most about your time at Dana?
Girls, weekends, free time and procrastinating learning. Also how to NOT procrastinate.

What's the best thing about living on campus?
I live in Mickelson and the best thing about living on campus is the social contact with others. There's always someone around to annoy, he he!

What do you and your friends enjoy doing?
I'm not a liberty to say …OK, crocheting. (Or sports and Playstation.)

What college class has been the most fun for you and why?
The college class that has been the most fun for me is either Introduction to Education, because the Education professors are awesome, or Teacher Assistant I & II, because I got to go to Omaha everyday in January and hang out with cool kindergarteners. Also Danish I was great with Lars Jensen as professor, and same for English Grammar with Dr. Scott Hermanson. (I didn't actually like grammar, but Dr. Hermanson made the class enjoyable so that we really learned things we didn't know were were learning!)
