What can FIPpers talk to you about?

Literally anything I have a huge range of interests and hobbies, but anything sports related, outdoorsy, music, movies, food, I like a lot of things! I've also had a diverse range of experiences at Harvard thus far and always love any questions or concerns that younger students come to me with.

Truly a kiwi at heart, Brad is pretty relaxed and easygoing. He is super active and outdoorsy and loves skiing, waterskiing (is a waterski instructor in the NZ summer), surfing, golf, rugby, basketball, playing pool and more. He plays the guitar and sings every now and then, but also loves listening to music, from Aussie/Kiwi indie tunes to rock classics from the 70s and 80s. Two of his favourite situations (kinda random) are: 1) waking up on a Sunday morning, making a cooked breakfast (eggs benedict usually) and taking that first, unbelievable sip of coffee (proper coffee not American), and 2) having a great, deep conversation with someone when you weren't expecting it. Side-note: Please don't ask him if he's Australian.
