Why he decided to run for Homecoming King: “Before I applied to be on Court, just imagining what it would be like to become Homecoming King gave me goosebumps. Being able to represent WVU in that capacity was something that I’ve always dreamed about, so filling out the application to be on Court only made sense.”

What students should vote for him: “During my time here in Morgantown, I’ve been lucky enough to be involved in a lot of things around campus – I’ve been a member of academic honoraries, on a club sports team, involved in Greek life, helped with political campaigns, and a lot of other things that I really think gave me a diverse college experience. That’s one of the big reasons I think students should vote for me; I’ve shared a lot of different experiences with them and can really relate to them.”
