Aaron Weil hails from Bellaire, Texas. He is an almost-talented guitarist and a frequent patron of Pico’s Mexican Restaurant in Houston. Special interests include classic rock, pecan pie, and watching college football. Aaron enjoys speaking French and looks forward to picking up Italian in the future. He graduated from the Kinkaid School in Houston and currently attends Princeton University as a member of the Class of 2008. He would never have made it here had it not been for his father Stuart, his mother Jane, his sisters Elizabeth and Julie, and, last but not least, his dog Blackberry.
When not busy writing sports articles for the Daily Princetonian or giving tours as an Orange Key guide, he usually sits around and does nothing. Aaron is a strong supporter of “not letting school get in the way of college.” While not in the least sophisticated, he does ironically enjoy art. His favorite artists of the late 19th and 20th centuries include Vincent van Gogh, Joan Miró, Gustav Klimt, and Henri Matisse. El Greco is a particular favorite from an older era. Aaron was first intrigued by Matisse’s journeys in Morocco after having come upon the gargantuan Les Marocains at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. This work, although not actually created in Morocco, inspired Aaron to delve more deeply into the topic.
