1. Your favorite PLNU class so far: Although I am not a Biblical Studies Major, my favorite so far has to be Dr. Wright's New Testament class. You never know what to expect... he's such an interesting man. His students come to the front of class everyday in order to explain scripture illustrations with context and relevant understanding, he's extremely passionate about the gospel and will stretch your theological scope even greater. After a semester in his class, Dr. Wright and I now serve in homeless ministry together on the streets of downtown San Diego every week.

2. Where you live, and who you live with: I live in Goodwin Hall with two great guys, Jeff Murray and Erik Schulte. We are currently in the process of building up a 1980s cassette tape collection, proud harvesters of our very own pumpkin garden, and are in search of artwork to fill our white dorm room walls. So far, so good!

3. The best thing you’ve ever eaten in the Caf: This is a close race between "The Belgium Waffle" (with: bananas, peanut butter, honey, and strawberries if I'm lucky) and the "Pulled Pork Sandwich". If I was stuck on a deserted island with only two choices of food (from the caf), it would definitely satisfy my taste buds.

4. The best thing in your hometown (sight, restaurant, anything): When I go home, my favorite thing to do is BBQ in the backyard, eat out on the back porch as the Southern California sun sets and after have a jam sesh with my Dad and dog Chipper as we wait for the Dodger game to begin.

5. Your favorite musician(s): Coldplay, U2, Death Cab for Cutie, Greg Laswell, Jimmy Eat World.

1. Your favorite PLNU class so far: My favorite class so far is Old Testament/New Testament History with Rodeheavor. There is a lot of reading, however, the discussions and lectures challenge my thoughts, teach me more than I could ever imagine, and the class are really entertaining.

3. The best thing you’ve ever eaten in the Caf?: So far, the best thing I’ve eaten in the Caf are the hash browns… they’re AMAZING. But the everlasting supply of fresh fruit is fantastic!

4. The best thing in your hometown (sight, restaurant, anything): The beaches and amusement parks! I actually grew up here in San Diego and I’m very familiar with the city. (I’ve lived in EVERYWHERE in this place.) Balboa Park is one of my favorite places to go for the scenery and museums. I also love Belmont Park for the rides and Sea World is great! Out of all of the beaches in San Diego, my favorite is a tie between Coronado and Mission Beach.

5. Your favorite musician(s): I literally listen to everything, but currently I’ve been listening to a lot of Paramore, The Fray, Phil Wickham, Demi Lovato & the JoBros (I know super cheesy!), One Republic, The Scene Aesthetic, Jordin Sparks, and Urban Rescue!
