Me showcasing my gregarious nature - Jake Elvig
I am a senior political science and history major at the University of Northern Colorado. Originally from Denver, and hoping to return soon, I have a passion for politics, writing and barroom political debates, as my unfortunate friends have witnessed countless times. I have worked two political internships, still waiting to see the paychecks for all those hours, and hope to get a job either with a member of Congress or with a political group of some type.
I have a lovely girlfriend named Katie who puts up with me, adore all things 1960s, especially the music, and love to continue my uphill battles with my two favorite activities I am awful at, pool and golf.
