Colin is a master of directionless success. At one point, finding himself cheering for the Axemen studying political science in Wolfville, and another trying to hide the fact that he was attending the “school” at the end of Robie Street earning an MBA, and now as a proud Dalhousian completing an MSc in kinesiology. Furthering his efforts to achieve record levels of student debt, Colin worked exclusively for not-for-profit organizations (Dartmouth General Foundation and Neptune Theatre) between degrees, making no money but feeling really good about himself. Colin has really focused hobbies that include running, comic books and helping out on his parent's farm. At this point, it should probably come as no surprise that Colin has applied to med school for the fall and failing that will probably end up growing beets on the farm and working for a mid-level paper supply company.
