Zac Shuford...

Zac comes to us as a Sophmore majoring in Biology Education. He hopes to graduate in the spring of 2009. Some would describe him as a hairy, hairy wild man. Zac has high aspirations of becoming a little kid when he grows up. He has a close connection with South Mountain State Park and loves to fish and climb rocks while he's there. His favorite OA trip so far has been "anything on the Appalachain Trail". His hobbies include playing the guitar, fishing and pretty much anything outdoors. Who does he love? You.

His words of wisdom are: "People are exactly the opposite of what they want you to think they are."
