Bio

Nico hates writing about himself in third person. He would rather try to body surf in the 50-year storm.  He would rather draft Aaron Hernandez in the first round of fantasy football. He would rather be locked in a room for a week with a punning Hatt Matt. He would rather eat a bitter cucumber the size of his leg.

Nico tried to speed up the writing process by interviewing himself as some of his teammates have done in the past.

Q: "Why do you run cross country?"
A: "Dude, why are you always talking to yourself?"
Q: "Well why did YOU secretly cry when the Jonas Brothers broke up?"
A: "... you idiot. " 

Nico decided it would be best to just make a Nico List.

School: Claremont McKenna
Major: Economics. Also in RDS Masters in Finance program.
Hobbies: Milk drinking, hula dancing, juggling
