Hometown: Abington, PA
Born in Philadelphia an avid sports fan, my family moved northwest of the northeast part of the city to the comfy borough of Rydal, an unincorporated community in Abington Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. There aren’t many things I’d rather do than play pick-up sports with my friends or cheer on the Eagles, Sixers, Union, Phillies, Flyers, and USMNT. Football (soccer) was chosen as my “dedication sport” at age 12 and now I serve the role of co-captain on the MIT Men’s Varsity squad. The world’s impending energy crisis has inspired me to change majors from Chemistry to Environmental Engineering along with a minor in Energy Studies and a humanities concentration in Spanish. I have held the position of Athletics Chairman and am the current Steward of Gamma Pi. In my free time I enjoy fraternizing with friends and experiencing the nightlife of Boston.

Hometown: St. Louis, Missouri!
Hey, I’m Justin!… some people call me J. I’m a stand up guy, but I can sit down too. My two favorite sports are the b-ball ones (that is… basket and base). Being that I am a Computer Science and Engineering major, I like computer science and engineering. Mobile phones are not computers, but are similar, so I like the science and engineering of those too. I have an iPhone, but I mostly program on the Droid platform, and whenever I’m using a Droid (“Droid!”) I keep my iPhone in my pocket so that my new roommate MAM (KS’14 Rook 2) doesn’t repetitively enter the wrong passcode until it locks. I “played” (I use that term loosely) on the MIT Varsity Baseball Team my Freshman year but since I didn’t really play (see parenthesized comment in beginning of sentence) I have since focused my time on other things like classes, start-ups, and our reigning B-League champion intramural basketball team. I loved chillin’ with friends and list’nin’ to music on my computer until RJB’s (KS’14 Rook 25) giant superhero shield fell off our shelf and broke it. Now I like chillin’ with friends and list’nin’ to music on my iPod when I go on leisurely runs about the Charles River. My favorite time ends in ‘oclock. All in all I’m a friendly guy, because hey – being asian isn’t half bad. I am very excited for my baby brother Kendall (’16) to join me at MIT this fall! Ask anyone and they will tell you that I am very proud to be from ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI! I spend last semester as Gamma Pi’s Printer Chair (not like a computer chair). As one of the three Network Chairmen of the house, I would fix the printers when they were broken, which mostly meant getting new ink from Malcolm’s mom. Well that’s me! Justin [clap] out [airplane arms], [exit stage right].

I spent this past summer working at Lambda Prime, a fund that invests in, and works hands-on with, promising high-tech startups, where I researched Business Incubators and Venture Capital. I plan to one day own a thriving business in the not-so-distant future. Before that, I’d like to get more experience in the business world, and the startup scene in particular.I look forward to 2 more awesome years at MIT. I also love quotes, so here is one: “Of those to whom much is given, much is asked in return.”
