Memberships:

I am currently the student-body president of Rowan University serving the Student Government Association (SGA). I also currently serve as a member of the Honors Concentration, and a proud brother, and former president of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Last but certainly not least, I am an avid participant of Intramural Sports here at Rowan University.

Hobbies and/or Interests:

I truly enjoy good food/sushi, friends, family, music, sports and fitness.

Career Aspirations:

To be honest, I am quite unsure, but I'm not worried. I know that no matter what I wind up doing, I want to create a positive social impact on a large volume of people. Ultimately, (and yes I recognize this is going to sound cliche but its God's honest truth, and once you get to know me you will better understand) I want to be the "change," I want to be the difference and I wanna change peoples lives for the better.

Best Advice for New Students:

Simply put, do not ever hold anything back. Fear is hesitation, and hesitation is missed opportunity. Follow your dreams, live the life you want to lead, and ultimately become the person that you have always wanted to be.

My Favorite Inspirational Quote, Phrase or Advice:

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." --Ralph Waldo Emerson
