Lionel Barzon was raised in a few different "hometowns." He was born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia and has lived in Cairo, Egypt and various parts of the United States. Growing up with a multicultural perspective has inspired Lionel to never settle down or get comfortable-- he's always looking for new places to explore and new ways to challenge himself.

Now based in Alabama, Lionel Barzon III is making the most of his current role as a Business student. He plans to finish his degree through the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2018. In the meantime, he's focusing on his newest role as a regional officer for his local chapter of Phi Theta Kappa.

Outside of work and academia, Lionel is passionate about travel, ice skating, sushi and the New York Yankees.
