Day in the Life of Todd Tomlinson

Tell me a little about where you grew up?

I grew up in Moorpark California. Moorpark is a medium sized city located right outside of Los Angeles known for its beautiful women and great basketball players.

Why did you choose The University of Great Falls?

Because I wanted a change. I thought it would be a great place to play basketball and get an education. I also felt it would give me an opportunity to experience new things and people.

What’s your favorite spot on campus?

My favorite spots on campus would have to be the Mclaughlin center (gym) and the student center. I spend most of my time in those two places.

What’s something interesting that you are working on now?

I am currently trying to complete online traffic School for a speeding ticket I received this summer in Los Angeles……Not cool. 

What do you aspire to do after you graduate?

I want to either work in Television/Radio, or play professional basketball overseas and eventually become a coach. And make money!!

Who on campus has had the biggest impact on you?

Definitley my teammates. I spend so much time with them and they are all so different. I think Ive learned a little from all of them.

Share your favorite travel adventure.

A couple of summers ago my sister won a free trip to the Bahamas. We Jet skied, swam by sharks, met and saw NBA players, boxers, and celebrities. It was crazy.

If you had to be on a desert island with one campus food what would it be?

Either the grilled chicken sandwhich or the grilled cheese. Theyre both safe choices.

If a movie was being made of your life who would play the lead role?

Maybe Dave Chapelle or Jamie Foxx. Which ever one has a better jumpshot.

What album is the soundtrack to your life?

The Blueprint by Jay-z. I can relate to a lot of songs and it never gets old.

If you could be one person for a day, who would you be and why?

Lebron James. I just want to play in an NBA game. And I want to see how it feels to be that young and that rich. Or Jay-z……He’s dating Beyonce.
