Hometown: Manassas, Virginia

Why should readers vote for you to win Mr. JMU Campus Freshman? 
It is of my opinion that Mr. Campus Freshman 2015 should be someone that is able to hold the university above him.  All in all I think that I should be voted for this honor because I always put other people first.  I always find myself helping other people and try to do so at all times if it is within my power. Your choice for me as Mr. Campus Freshman 2015 will not be an empty one!
 
JMU girls are best because…
Simple – class, confidence, and sincerity.  JMU girls always hold themselves well.  They are classy and sophisticated.  They have confidence in themselves and are not afraid to be who they are. JMU girls are sweet and always act with others in mind. This is what makes JMU girls the best.
 
What qualities do you look for in a girlfriend?
Attraction, respect, and devotion (each of these are reciprocal). Attraction to personality and a general need to be around or want to be around. Respect for herself and me, meaning she accepts who I am, who she is, and what we would be together. Devotion to make it last, and just to be there whenever possible. Oh, and pretty eyes.
 
What do you want to do with your life?
Well, as of right now the plan is to be an army doctor, but the main goal is to just be a doctor.  I like the idea of helping people and making them feel better, it has always been an interest of mine.  Being a doctor is my life ambition.
 
If you could trade lives with anyone for a day who would it be and why?
My Dad. He is an Eagle Scout and I have followed in his footsteps. He always puts the family first, juggles three jobs, and always makes it to our concerts and sports events. He is there at three in the morning if I need to talk, and probably cares more about me than I do. If there were ever a man that I would want to grow up to be, it would be him, however, the weight of walking in his shoes may be too much.
