Who is this Guy Anyway?

Hey everybody and welcome to One Spartan’s Pride. I thought I’d open with a little about myself, just one Spartan loving life on-campus. I grew up in Batavia, IL, a suburb an hour west of Chicago. Because of my love for sports and the Midwest I always knew I wanted to attend a Big Ten University. When I visited Michigan State something with the campus just clicked and I knew I wanted to be a Spartan.

Fast forward to today. I am a junior Resident Mentor living in Wilson Hall. I love this job because I love meeting all the great people that are my fellow students and being a part of on-campus events. These are the events I look forward to sharing with you in this blog.

I am a Computer Science major with a specialization in video game design. I love playing all kinds of video games from Smash Brothers to Team Fortress 2. It is my dream to one day create my own video games. I consider myself a bit of a movie buff, I love to go to midnight premiers for the latest movies or grab some friends to see the weekend’s free RHA movies showing. As for music I love a little bit of everything (minus country, nobody really likes country). One of my greatest memories I will ever have is when I saw Eminem at “The Home & Home Tour” in Detroit.

I also love sports. I love watching our football team chase another Big Ten title, and our basketball team make yet another improbable tournament run. Professionally I will go to the grave rooting for my Bears, Cubs, Bulls, and Blackhawks. Of course I also love playing sports. I play rugby for the Michigan State Rugby Football Club. I also love to play IM sports soccer and basketball.

I know this is a lot but that is because there is so much to do. That is probably my favorite part about living on-campus. On any given day I can find plenty of people to go play pick-up basketball, or form a study group, or even just relax and play some video games together. It really is the day to day events of living on campus that truly make me proud to be a Spartan!

So I look forward to sharing with you my experiences from campus. Feel free to ask me any questions in the comments below!
