Im from Indianapolis so I am excited to come back to the city as a young adult and experience it, espcially considering the Super Bowl will be here next year!

Why did you choose to be a part of the Orr Fellowship?
I had heard about it from people in my fraternity (Triangle) who had done it and it sparked an interested with me. The more I learned about it, the more I realized that it was a really unique opportunity that I couldn’t really pass up. The people I met during the intial selection process really helped me see this is most.

The one thing I know I want to do for sure is make a postive impact on the world. I want to do something that just incorporates all the things I have learned to help the world out in some way. 

Just the facts:
I love to make music. I am really into music production and have been doing it with my friend for the last 3-4 years I also like to hang out with people and have adventures and create memories. I like to workout and play sports. I am also a big Colts fan as well.
