I received the Delta Sigma Pi Key Award for being one of the top two students in terms of GPA in the Spring 2024 Graduating class in the MSU Mankato College of Business.
I graduated in May 2024, Summa Cum Laude with 145 credits and a 4.0 GPA.
I was nominated and chosen for this award largely as a result of co-founding and building Hustle and Refine on the MSU Mankato campus. This award is given to a student who "is willing to step up and take risks for the betterment of the Minnesota State University, Mankato community."
I was a Top 10 student in terms of academics at Wayzata High School, graduating with a GPA of 4.0. My graduating class had over 850 students.
I spent my Junior and Senior years of high school at 3 different post-secondary institutions, graduating from Wayzata with two years of college completed.
I co-founded a Faith-Based men's group in Mankato for young men. Hustle is all about individual and group growth; we focus on helping make better people through fellowship. Hundreds of MSU Mankato students have attended. Recently, a few young female leaders decided to work with Hustle and start a women's group called Refine with a similar mission.
