I am an optimist, a scholar, a brother, an entrepreneur. I believe in the power of people, and my goal is to unleash that power. The world is changing, and I am part of that change.

My passions are entrepreneurship and international developement, specifically in agricultural design. With a degree in mechanical engineering and minors in leadership development and entrepreneurship from Penn State, I feel prepared to tackle some of the worlds most pressing problems. Currently I am working with an urban agricultural design company, GreenTowers, which we founded in 2013 with the mission to allow everyone the opportunity to grow their own food.

During my time at Penn State I was the president of Engineers Without Borders, and together we traveled to Sierra Leone to build a latrine with the local community. I am a young professional in the co.space, a co-living house for individuals with a passion to change the world. I am a Scholar with ThinkImpact, which allowed me to partner with local community members in rural Kenya to help create a food preservation business.

I am a changemaker.
