Although my name is Alexander, I go by my nickname of Zander. I am a 2nd year B.Arch student at Syracuse University and participate in Club Tennis as well as the Tennis Analytics Club. I am actually an identical twin, but my 'older' brother (by 1 minute) attends UMass Amherst in a non-creative major. For the past 5 years, I've been a Junior Tennis Pro teaching adults and children, but I really want to change my focus to architecture-related work. I am greatly enjoying architecture school as it has provided me with the satisfaction of creating my own designs and completing the entire process from designing, to modelling, and finally presenting my work for review.
