Coverboy: Milton
Milton is saving himself. You heard right. The 22-year-old Frederick, Md. resident who graduated from the University of Pittsburg in 2010 with a degree in journalism, is waiting for Mr. Right. ”I want someone to stick around and get to know me before all that physical stuff,” he says. Milton hopes to complete a graduate program at the University of Maryland sometime in the near future, all part of Milton’s plan to someday become a broadcast journalist. When he’s not working Milton likes to travel to Pittsburgh to hang out with college friends. He also enjoys mingling with the college crowd at Apex on Thursday nights.
