Relationship Status: Single
Favorite Food: Steak!
School Activities: I’m in the prosthetics club, sometimes attend ballroom, and attend any school activity that I’m free to attend.
Hobbies: My hobbies are reading, writing, and watching TV shows. Netflix is like my best friend. I am a pretty social guy so I enjoy chilling with friends. I am a big movie buff so I definitely love watching movies. Sometimes, I feel like the movie theater is like my second home.
Role Model: Steve Jobs, is for sure my number one role model (for the right reasons of course!). The man taught us all to go out of the norm and to think differently. As a business major, one thing I have learned from his life story is that big money does not necessarily create a great product or a business. It’s the big idea that truly creates something remarkable.
Pet Peeves: When people are talking to me and keep saying, “you know” after every sentence. No, I don’t know! Also, when people talk during a movie. Like I said, I am a movie buff and when I am watching a movie I am fully invested in what I am seeing and am living in the director’s world. So, I do not like being interrupted.
Favorite Quote: “Some people are old at 18 and some are young at 90. Time is a concept that humans created.” – Yoko Ono. I strongly believe that age is just a number. I believe that we should live life to the fullest. We are never too young to fulfill a dream or goal and never too old to create another dream or goal.
Favorite part of being a Mercer Bear: The best part of being a Mercer Bear is enjoying what this beautiful school has to offer while sharing a great bond with friends. I love the immense school spirit that the students have and also the diversity of the student body.
