The sixth of twelve children, I was born into a monumental (by today’s standards) family and I wouldn’t have it any other way. As you could imagine, growing up with that many siblings rarely made for a dull moment. As I was raised in a chaotic house in an already chaotic south Florida, you could correctly infer I have a penchant for adventure and self-improvement. I currently reside in Florida but on any given weekend you can find me traveling the country in the never-ending endeavor to better myself, my understanding of the world around me, and my life experience.

As a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity in undergrad, I was challenged to become the best version of myself. It was there where I learned invaluable life lessons and forged habits that would serve to propel me to higher heights. Through scholarship, friendship, and moral rectitude, I was motivated to become a better student, a gentlemen, to take pride in my work and appearance, to prioritize and efficiently address tasks, all the while enjoying life to the fullest. Now, I find that outside the office, exercise, reading, and travel are excellent vehicles by which to achieve balance. Having a competitive streak, I enjoy playing basketball, softball, football, and golf to supplement my gym routine.

When it comes to books, I consume anything I can get my hands on without discrimination. If there was one person on earth, alive or deceased, that I could share a meal with, my primary choice is undoubtedly Benjamin Franklin; the man was a luminary and his autobiography is an exemplary read.

I am fortunate and privileged to have visited many places in my life so far, but at the same time I long to see so much more. The most beautiful place I have visited is Interlaken, Switzerland where I rafted the Lutschine! The Grand Canyon was the most breathtaking vista ever processed by these eyes and I can imagine only an astronaut has had a more concise and humbling experience to demonstrate the grand scale of the world around us and our role in it. New York City is the best city on the planet in my opinion and I will relocate there.

I have pulled the slots in Las Vegas, pondered civilization in Rome, reflected on our nation’s roots at State Street in Boston, and jumped out of planes over Cape Canaveral, but I am just getting started. This life has so much to offer and I plan to take advantage!
