I am a recent graduate of Cornell College, where I earned a degree in Environmental Biology and Ecology, along with a minor in Kinesiology to keep the door open for future coaching opportunities. During my four years at Cornell, I was a student-athlete on the basketball team, an experience that taught me discipline, leadership, and resilience, lessons that have shaped me both on and off the court. In addition to my academic and athletic pursuits, I am also an Eagle Scout, an achievement that taught me the values of service, perseverance, and leadership from a young age. As an Eagle Scout, I completed numerous community service projects and gained valuable experiences in organizing, planning, and working with others to make a positive impact. I’m a highly active and hands-on person who enjoys giving back to my community. Whether it’s volunteering, mentoring, or helping out on a local project, I love making a difference. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, as well as working on cars, especially classic ones. I recently completed a full restoration of a 1968 Ford Mustang in my home garage, a project that tested my patience, creativity, and problem-solving skills. I’m always looking for new challenges and opportunities to grow, and I’m eager to continue learning and contributing in meaningful ways, whether that’s through further education, career development, or community involvement.
