Erik always knew he was a big city kid at heart. After growing up in the small town of Lakeport, California, Erik finds himself right at home here in Seattle and at Seattle University. He's a bona fide leader, a busy bee keeping up in the busy world of college and the hustle and bustle of the big city. If he's not busy running around campus, you'll often find him with friends at a hip local restaurant embracing his inner foodie spirit. Erik also frequently "shops until he drops" and it's not uncommon to see him browsing the many retail options in and around the city.

Although Arianna hails from the small city of Eagle River, AK (located in south-central Alaska), she likes to believe that she is true Seattleite at heart. Arianna has an affinity for buying too many art supplies and finding the best deals in the city because of her refusal to buy anything that isn't on sale. She also takes far too much pride in her extensive iTunes library. If she isn't marathoning Scandal or Grey's Anatomy, you can often find her frequenting The Elliot Bay Book Company or Molly Moons Ice Cream Shop on Capitol Hill, as nothing is stronger than her sweet tooth and love of books.
