Tell us about your favorite WLC experience.

My favorite WLC experience was competing in a lip sync battle in a group with some of my close friends. We called ourselves the “Spice Boyz.”

What have you accomplished on your bucket list since graduation?

I have had the great privilege of being able to attend the Battle 4 Atlantis basketball tournament held during Thanksgiving week, as part of the Virginia Commonwealth University men's basketball staff. As a basketball fan, this is just one of a few coveted tournaments that I had hoped to experience during my career.

What goal are you working toward right now?

My wife and I are currently working toward being able to buy a house in 2025 to establish roots in Charlotte, North Carolina.

What is one thing most people don't know about you?

My family traveled by car for vacations. My first plane ride wasn’t until I was 16 years old to visit the Grand Canyon. Traveling by car allowed me to see parts of the country that you can't see when you fly, which is something I cherish to this day.

What was your first job?

I was an umpire for the Menomonee Falls Little League.

What is something valuable you learned during your career?

Consistency is king! Being consistent in your habits, relationships, and your true authentic self will get you further in your career and life than anything else.
