About Nicholas Cromwell

Nicholas is a senior accounting and finance major from Dallas.

Being an accounting major, I don't spend all of my time crunching numbers but spend a lot of my free time outside, adventuring. Specifically I enjoy cycling, mountain biking, hiking, hunting, camping, sports of all kinds, and taking photos of these things. However, sometimes I also spend my time inside, cooking! I prefer to do my adventuring with other people who like to adventure because adventuring with people is much more memorable.
