Bio

I am a passionate and highly motivated mechanical engineering student in the University Scholars Honors Program at Milwaukee School of Engineering with an interest in renewable energy, engineering materials, and applications of thermodynamics. I derive my discipline and work ethic from my 9+ years of participation in varsity athletics, including 3 years with the Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field teams at MSOE. On the side, I am an avid health and fitness enthusiast. I participate in boxing, free-diving, calisthenics, mixed martial arts and rock climbing outside of my involvement in varsity athletics at MSOE. My goal in life is to dedicate myself to the service of those less fortunate. I have been so richly blessed, and I want to make the most of the gifts God has given me, but there are so many who have so much less than I do. One of my favorite quotes of all time is, "Be the change you wish to see in the world". I want to change the world to be a place more filled with kindness, where we give our of time, talents, and treasure not because we have to, but because we want to.

Mechanism Fitness Matters Scholarship
Fitness is not just a good habit or a hobby, it is a lifestyle. In the journey to becoming fit, you will change the way you look, the way you eat, and the way you think. Many people do not know the many benefits of being fit, but in my nine-plus years of varsity and recreational athletics, I have learned exactly what fitness has to offer me. I am a collegiate runner, rock climber, martial artist, calisthenics practitioner, spearfisher, and nutrition enthusiast. Fitness has been the driving force in my life, and I have drawn on the lessons I have learned from my many coaches to overcome the challenges I face inside and outside the classroom. My high school running coach was one of the greatest mentors in my life and through four years of cross country and track and field, he taught me discipline through my training. To be a successful runner, you must possess a certain level of mental toughness, as running is largely about pain management. Every workout and every race is an internal battle your mind wages against your body, a struggle of wills to determine whether you will perform that day. To master your mind, you must exercise discipline in practicing your craft relentlessly and without excuses. Every day you will face a new set of obstacles, motivation will come and go, but discipline will carry you through the highs and lows. My coach taught me discipline through his philosophy of "no days off", which meant my teammates and I trained year-round. This meant morning practice Monday through Friday, meets on Saturdays, long runs on Sundays, and holiday breaks. It meant ice baths, calf massages, vigorous stretching, and yoga after practice to stay on track. It required sacrificing free time and time to study, while also mandating proper sleep and nutrition. I have taken the values impressed on me by my high school running coach and changed my life. I aim to never miss a day of training, proper eating, or sleeping and I complete my work far in advance of deadlines. Once you take a closer look at fitness, you begin to realize your life is like a series of dominos. Once you choose to pursue fitness, you have tipped over the first tile, and you can hardly imagine how it will change your life for the better.
