Like 1.

22. Any career advice you would give to an undergraduate Phi Psi today? 

To make this easier, pick Engineering/Physics/Science related, Medical field of some sort, or Education (if you really want to be a teacher). If you pick another other major, you’re gonna have a hard time lol jk.

23. What's one piece of advice you'd give every undergraduate about networking? 

Networking is key ONLY after you’ve gotten yourself taken care of. Take care of your own first and right after that is networking. Don’t just network to network, CARE about people. If you don’t care about people in general, then your network is nothing.

I’m currently engaged and we’ve been together for about 3 years or more.

None.

I play guitar, sing, and dance occasionally. I play DotA and smash brothers melee when people want to play. I work out at Future Fitness (lifelong membership) and I do it very seriously (mad committed), so if you want to bodybuild/physique development, contact me and we can work on dat bod.

27. Anything you would like to share with other brothers through the blog regarding your relationship/family/personal life? 

I hope to one day have a family and get more involved in the field of engineering. Continue to better the relationship you have with your family if they are still alive. God bless.
