What do you like to do in your spare time?

In my spare time I like to play basketball, work out, stay fit, read and write poetry. I particularly like to read novels to expand my knowledge.

What is your campus involvement?

I am involved in the Call Me Mister Program, Gentlemen’s League and Council of Student Leaders. I was an Orientation Leader and currently I am an RA.

What has been the highlight of your time at Winthrop so far?

I would have to say the highlight of my Winthrop career so far would have to be getting involved. My freshman year, I wasn’t involved a lot. But this last year I really got involved on campus which helped me open up and helped me grow as a leader and meet new people that I would have never met.

Why should you be this year’s Big Man on Campus?

I should be Big Man on Campus because not only am I ambitious smart, funny, cute, but also I feel like I have a good talent in my poetry. I am a confident young man, and I think that can be used and that is why I should be Big Man on Campus.
