Running
One of my biggest passions is running. I've found that running is a great way to clear my mind and mentally prepare myself for my academic and professional life. Running has taught me determination and that a great work ethic can pay off, which translate well into my academic life. As an avid runner I've completed 4 marathons and 6 half- marathons, including:
​
Pittsburgh Half Marathon x 2 Marine Corps Marathon
Greensburg Half Marathon x 2 Pittsburgh Marathon
Presque Isle Half Marathon Columbus Marathon
Youngwood Labor Day Half Marathon Garden Spot Village Marathon
Fraternity
While attending Duquense, I was introduced to a great group of guys, the brothers of Phi Kappa Theta PA Alpha Xi. The brothers are an exemplary group, doing good for the University and community, and always challenging each other to be better. I was lucky to fit right in and be accepted by this amazing group. Throughout my three and a half years active in chapter, I held a number of positions including philanthropy and treasurer. One of the biggest honors was planning and hosting our annual casino night, my Junior year of college, where we raised $3,500 for our national philanthropy Children's Miracle Network.
Boy Scouts
Beginning in elementary school, I became active in my local cub scout troop. Continuing on into middle school, I joined the Boy Scouts. Throughout middle school into high school, I progressed through each of the ranks to Eagle Scout. Finally, at the age of 15 I orchestrated a service project to fulfill the requirements for Eagle Scout. My project consisted of leading a group of fellow scouts and adults through the cutting of lumber and construction of a wood shed at a local historic site. This project required my instruction, design, and planning, skills that have translated will into successes in my personal and professional life.
