Curling Club Officers 2009-2010

President - Dana Sulas |
Dana is a senior in Chemistry. Despite the photographic evidence on the left, she is in fact not Canadian, and is actually from Wisconsin... go figure. Since there isn't a whole lot to do in Wisconsin, she naturally turned to curling, where she spent many hours a week during her teen years. Dana played lead on MIT's winless team at the national college curling bonspiel, which meant that she could confidently and rightly place the majority of the blame on the other team members, such as the inept skip and his suspect strategy calls. On top of heading the curling club, Dana also heads MITOC... they do outdoorsy stuff. Dana is basically a semi-pro hiker and climber... seriously, don't challenge her, you'll be sorry. Dana enjoys other winter pastimes like skiing or snowboarding (that's right, she swings both ways), and she also loves to dance... again, challenge her at your own discretion. |

Treasurer - David Tax |
David is a graduate student in Electrical Engineering. He has curled for a number of years out of the Mayflower Curling Club in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, where he (supposedly) lead teams to victory several nights a week. Recently, David skipped the MIT curling team to a remarkable 0-3 record at the national college curling bonspiel (though he stands by the defense that the team had only curled one evening over the previous 2 months), but he has already promised victory next year. Aside from curling, like any true Canadian, his passion is hockey. David has developed into an avid Bruins fan since his arrival in Boston and can be found at most home games... that is when he's not actually out playing hockey or curling. When the ice melts, David resorts to playing pretentious sports like golf and tennis. |

Secretary - Ben Peters |
Ben is a junior in Mechanical Engineering. Ben is also from Wisconsin, but he does a good Canadian impression out on the curling ice... you would swear he's from Manitoba since he's one of the remaining few of the dying breed of tuckers. His delivery isn't all that sets him apart from the rest on the ice, Ben is also famous for sporting a green suit, something that the average curler could definitely not pull off...but Ben does, and does well. Outside of curling, Ben shares his unique sense of humor with the MIT community by publishing his cartoon, The Daily Blunderbuss, in MIT's student paper, The Tech. While his comics are usually quite funny, it still may be advisable to practice the smile, nod, and chuckle should he ever force you to read one in his presence... what can I say, talent like his can be intimidating. While he has been relegated to a position of relatively little power within the MIT Curling Club hierarchy (though he did play third for the team at nationals), Ben does lead the League of Ben Peterses, and we can only imagine what malevolent goals such an organization maintains. |
