Being devoted to public service, he served on the Community Appearance Commission, and its
subcommittee, the Technical Advisory and Project Review. During the 2020 & 2021 calendar year he

is obvious that Forsyth Tech has been a large part of his life since 2018, serving in various roles from
Student Ambassador to President of the SGA, and privileged to sit on the Board of Trustees for the school year of 2021. His next undertaken is completing his degree in Government and Leadership Studies, where he attends University of Arizona.

Whether it be representing and advocating for his peers in Washington D.C., giving the
commencement speech at 2021 Forsyth Tech Commencement, serving meals in a homeless shelter, or introducing the film “Good Trouble” about the late Rep. John Lewis, the act and desire to give back to the community is a passion in his life. His interests include world travel, languages, learning bachata, education, economic empowerment, community infrastructure, and living peaceably.
One major project to come is Public Speaking with his life and life lessons being the subject material to encourage others in the belief that there is no life so marred that it is unredeemable and given the opportunity you can change your stars.
