Colin Strauss, Varsity Writer

This is only Colin Strauss’s second year on the KE staff––clearly he is an absolute workhorse, as his favorite hobby is cranking out articles left and right for the Knight Errant. Strauss travels from his home in Chanhassen to BSM every day, because that’s how much he loves his school. Strauss also loves to watch the Vikes on Sunday as well. Some of his favorite foods are Cheddar Sour Cream Ruffles and Pizza Bagels. When walking the halls you should always say hi to Colin if you see him because it’s never a bad idea.
