Who am I?

My name is Benjamin Brandt and I am one of the eight "glad to have a full-time job this summer" consulting assistants at Technology Services for the summer of 2009. I worked the previous school year at the Helpline and have really enjoyed the GTS experience.

I am renting a house on the north side of Saint Peter with 7 other guys. Living with so many people has been a crazy experience, but our neighbor across 5th street, Jessie Twaddle, maintains the fact that we have been good neighbors.

Background

I spent my entire childhood growing up in the great city of Rochester, MN, home to the Mayo Clinic and IBM.

My family is very important to me. My Dad's name is Dave and my Mom's is Kathy, I have a younger sister, Stephanie (18) and a younger brother Michael (13), and an awesome yellow lab named Lucy.

At Century High School I played football, basketball, and baseball. I continue to play football as a wide receiver here at Gustie, and since I am living here this summer I have resurrected my baseball career and am playing infield for the Saint Peter Saints town baseball team.

Other notable facts include: As a freshman in high school I was awarded a blue ribbon at the MN state Science Fair. I earned my Eagle Scout rank when I was 18. I am a member of the College Republicans and SAVE organizations along with the oldest fraternity at Gustavus τΨΩ. I also enjoy being outside during all of the seasons, playing any and all sports, hunting, summer time at the cabin on the lake, and of course spending time with friends.
