Father is a consultant and mother is a statistician ... Hobbies include playing online Scrabble and Boggle, reading and watching movies ... Favorite foreign city to travel to is Selva val Gardena because "the town was quaint, the view was amazing, and there were flowers everywhere" ... Has a passion for Scrabble, Boggle, reading, tennis and fusion energy ... Will start his freshman year at MIT in fall 2009 ... Plan to major in physics or nuclear engineering and is interested in exploring the potential of fusion as a clean energy source ...
