Circulation

This was the best shot I could take. I work at the circulation desk in Hedberg Library where I check in and out books, movies, music, laptops, media equipment, etc. I also search for missing books and movies and pick up books laying around the library. I tend to go down this aisle quite a bit, and I wanted to include as many books as possible. This is a pretty effective picture; if it didn't have my name tag, I'm not sure people would fully understand the significance.

Cheese Head Sports

This is a photo of me in the Carthage Wave Radio Station. Every Wednesday at 4pm, I have a one hour sport show called Cheese Head Sports, where I discuss Wisconsin's Pro Sports Teams, amongst other subjects. Broadcasting is my dream; I want to be sportscaster someday. I wish more people could listen to this show, yet they have more important things to worry about, not to mention that the station only streams on campus and nowhere else. Even though there are disadvantages, I still love to do my show no matter what.



There's nothing much to the station. I tried to incorporate everything possible to show what it's like. There's the soundboard, headphones, and my microphone.

Golf Caps

Although I'm not the greatest golfer in the world, I'm proud that I play the game. To show this, I always wear a golf cap wherever I go. Yes, Titleist is my favorite golf brand. The colors of red, black, navy blue, and sky blue are not my favorite colors, but they complement the polos and pants that I wear while on the golf course. I take clothing pretty seriously when I play the game. After all, you have to look good.

This looks like a catalog for Titleist hats. I just had to say that...

Proud of being a Waiter

This was a tough photo to take. This is me at the House of Gerhard, a fantastic German Restaurant, putting the finishing touches on the resetting of the dining room. I'm currently a waiter, and wanted to show something waiter-related, but I did not want to take a photo while costumers were still in the restaurant; that would look rather awkward. This picture shows my hard work as the night comes to an end.

I've worked here for three and a half years; if I didn't like what I do, I wouldn't be there. It's a great place with great workers and great owners. They're like a second family to me. In my opinion, serving is something everyone should take up at some point in their lives. It teaches you responsibility, common sense, dealing with people of all personalities, and learning how to accept success, mistakes, and even failure.

Ramen Noodles

Take a good look at this image. Remind you of anything? Think Andy Warhol...This is probably my best example of intertexuality. Like college students all over the world, all of them have had Ramen Noodles at one point or another. I had to portray this picture like Andy Warhol's painting of the Campbell Soup can.



I could definitely live off of ramen noodles for a long time...

I'm a Bonehead


I'm such a bonehead (literally). Yes, on the top of my head is an actual cow bone, and I'm wearing a sleeveless t-shirt. I would never do something like this, but I tend to do stupid things or say dumb stuff. I have a 3.92 GPA at Carthage, yet I don't always show it. It's hard to describe my bone headedness; the more you know me, the more you'll understand. This is a prime quality that I'm not really proud of, but I always laugh about it. That's why I have to smile in this picture.

Poker God

For anyone who's a beginner at poker, they will be immediately addicted. I found myself in this situation. I was so hooked with this game that I almost considered playing professionally. Now that I think about it, that seems pretty stupid, and I'm not a big risk taker when comes to a lot of money on the table.



I will say though that I'm a very good poker player. Playing for over 6 years, I'm specialized in games like Omaha, 5 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud, and Texas Hold 'em. I prefer to play for money, but not too much. Recently, I played with a few of my very good friends and took them to the cleaners. I won $7!!! For some reason, this is one game that I never forget how to play. Like golf, it's something I can play for the rest of my life.
