NDNation Profile for NDROMAN21

Height: 6'-3

Weight: 235 lbs.

Alumni Status: 2002 Arch.

Location: Chicago, IL

Favorite Baseball Team: Chicago Cubs

Natural Enemies: Poor Drivers (so 90% of the population)

Athletic Ability:

Had scholarship offers for soccer but passed on them for ND. Decided not to become a preferred-walk on at ND due to architecture. Also a passable basketball player. Made the Bookstore Round of 32 in '99. Completed the 2010 Chicago Sprint Triathlon in 1:39 and some change.

Sartorial Style:

Jeans unless I'm meeting with a client. Not all that interested in fashion. If it's pressed and doesn't smell, that's good enough for me.

Favorite Beverage and Consumption Freq:

Micro-brewed beer. Too many good ones to pick a favorite. My brother got me the beer of the month club as a groomsman's gift and I've kept it on, so I drink at least 12 a month at home.

If pressed, I'd go with Dogfish 60 or Sierra Nevada Celebration.

Political Philosophy:

Moderate. I'm a registered Democrat, side with the GOP on probably a third of the major issues.

Religious Philosophy:

Practicing Lutheran. When I started going to Catholic school in high school, the services were so similar, I didn't see what all of the fuss was about. I understand it a bit better now, but still believe we're more similar than most Catholics realize, or are willing to admit.

Musical Favorites:

Anything and everything. If pressed, U2, early DMB, Counting Crows, Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Favorite Quote from an ND Coach:

"Coaching is nothing more than eliminating mistakes before you get fired."
-Lou Holtz-

Miscellaneous Data:

Unabashed German car enthusiast, so I'm probably not all that rational.
