What is your favorite Wittenberg memory?
Watching the sunrise on the steps of Myers the morning after graduation with my best friends.

Why Witt Nation?
Nothings better than meeting great alumni and seeing the USA. I want to share Witt to as many non-alumni as well. This place is a treasure and more need to know about it.

What is your involvement on the trip?
At Witt: Im an intern in the Office of Admissions, as well as a campus handyman (floater). I hope to use this trip as a way to recruit some great students and spread our message. On the road: East coast tour-guide, navigator, surf instructor, and hyper-miler.

What is a lesson you learned while at Wittenberg?
Believe in people, they aren't ever as bad as they seem.

Tunes?
You gotta have that perfect mix of singalongs with some good beats to keep the tires turning. Ex. Journey with some Steely Dan, or some Goo Goo Dolls with some Thievery Corp.
