About

I'm just a simple young man from rural Kentucky trying to carve out a place in the world for myself, in hopes of gaining a better understanding of my life and the human experience. I am currently enrolled at Centre College in Danville, KY, as an upcoming sophomore. My own determination and the support of many loving people have allowed me to seek further education and, with enough perseverance, a meaningful career. I sincerely hope that the work I've done to be given this position as a member of the Honor Society will help me to achieve that goal, so that I may fulfill my own dreams and perhaps even inspire others to strive for the same.

Goals and interests

Career goal

I hope to graduate from Centre College with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, and possibly Engineering, so that I can start a career that allows me to utilize my skills in math and design to help make innovations in the way things are put drafted and constructed. I would like to either pursue a job as an engineer, that I may improve infrastructure in mechanisms crucial to society's growth; or an architect, that I may help to better the quality of the structures that people need to carry on with their lives.

Outside the classroom

In my free time, I enjoy mostly low-energy pastimes. I like to take walks in new places, catch up with friends, and rest comfortably while listening to music or reading a book. Every now and them I become curious about a certain subject and devote time to learning more about it, with zoology, mythology, and aesthetics being particular interests of mine. When I'm feeling particularly inspired, I draw, write, or fold origami. I also sing and dance on occasion, but typical only in private.
