Personal Information

A short biography

I was born in Benton Harbor Michigan on March 14^th, 1985 to John and Nancy Nelson. I was the first of two children, my brother Mike was born May 29^th, 1987. He is planning on attending Western Michigan starting the fall of 2005. I attended Lake Michigan Catholic schools from my first day of kindergarten until the day I graduated from high school, on May 28^th, 2003. While in school I was active in many sports including basketball, football, soccer, track, cross country, and golf. Through out high school I maintained a 3.66 grade point average and graduated in the top 15 of my class. I was also a member of the National Honor society. After graduation I decided to attend Western Michigan University and I am now finishing my second year of school. I am a business marketing major and currently carrying a 3.69 grade point average.

Hobbies

Right now my hobbies include intramural basketball in the winter and the spring. I play beach volley ball in the summer and I get out on the golf course whenever I can. I also love playing ping pong and I try to get a few games in daily. One of the things I enjoy the most is running, which I try to do all year long, but that can get kind of hard in the winter months.

My Favorites

I love movies and watch them all the time. My favorite director is probably Wes Anderson, for his work on the “Royal Tenenbaums” and “Rushmore,” two of my favorite movies. Music is another big part of my life. I really enjoy classic rock and I am a huge Beatles fan, I think that they paved the way for most of the music that we hear today.
