HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED AT SCHOOL?

I co-founded Mizzou's first intercollegiate varsity bowling team named Mizzou Bowling. As the competition vice president, I facilitated the team each season from tryouts through end of season logistically, financially, and as a recreational sport.

I was also a charter member of my fraternity Gamma Iota Sigma, where along with 12 founders we created a new campus risk management and insurance fraternity consisting of 75 members of the finance, risk management, and actuarial science/mathematics fields.

During this time, I worked heavily with the Special Olympics of Missouri as a volunteer, coach, and representative. In the summer of 2018, I was delegated as the State of Missouri's Special Olympics Bowling Coach which I attended the Special Olympics USA Games in Seattle, Washington. For the summer of 2022, I have been selected as the State of Missouri's Special Olympics Bowling Unified Partner in Orlando, Florida.
