Bio:
I was born and raised in Indianapolis. I am looking forward to graduating and heading to Southern Europe after graduation. My passion is lifting weights and cooking, both of which I am ready to begin doing every day. I love the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, backpacking, mountain biking and scuba diving are things I enjoy but I am always looking for the next challenge.

Why did you choose to be a part of the Orr Fellowship?
I was in an entrepreneurial class and the professor was always promoting the Orr Fellowship. When career fair came around I spoke with a Fellow and really felt that the experience was very unique, especially for engineers. I thought it would separate me from my peers and allow me to challenge myself as an individual. I understand engineering well, but do not understand how business, marketing, and finance play into finished product. I was also excited for the opportunity to be around others working similar goals as myself. Finally, I saw the opportunity to take on more than a beginning engineer role would offer me.

What are your long-term career ambitions?
I see myself going back to a large pharmaceutical company after my two years with the Fellowship. During that time I see myself beginning a nutrition company. I also see myself getting actively involved in politics and potentially serving at some level. When I am satisfied with what I have done in business and politics, I see myself starting a small quaint restaurant and retiring on a farm.

What will your first role be at your host company?
I believe I will begin by distribution mapping the 400,00 square foot warehouse in Missouri. During this time I also ook forward to bringing new clients on board and learning more about the technology.

Just the facts:
Playing guitar and listening to music is relaxing. Cooking and working out eliminates stressing. I can’t wait to graduate and travel.
