Favorite thing about Baylor: My favorite thing about Baylor is the community. It is truly one of the things that made my Baylor experience so fun, exciting, and more like home. Whether you are on a walk around campus, eating at a dining hall, going to Cameron Park, or traveling to a football game, the people you will meet are authentic, caring, and full of Baylor spirit. Finding my place at Baylor was a great experience, and now I get to always be a part of this awesome community.
Favorite place in Waco: My favorite place in Waco has got to be Baris. It has some affordable and delicious Italian food that I think everyone needs to try. My wife and I frequent there for a casual after-work dinner, or a date night place. As far as non-restaurant places to go, I love going to Cameron Park to play disc golf, or hike. It’s a beautiful place year-round, but especially in Spring.
What inspires me: My family and my faith. I am constantly pushed to be the best version of myself when it comes to work, friendships, family, and my wife.
Favorite hobbies: I have many favorite hobbies, many revolving around music. I love going to live music concerts, whether it's small obscure bands, live orchestra at Waco Symphony Orchestra, or music festivals. I currently collect vinyl records as well and have close to 100! I also love playing board games, card games, and disc golf with my wife and friends.
Fun facts about me: I was the first in my family to graduate from college. I’ve played drums since I was 6 years old, which helped me become section leader in the Drumline at Baylor for 2 years. I love chicken wings and will gladly try them from a variety of places.
My advice to you: Enjoy this process. You have the opportunity to make some really big decisions that will set you up for the rest of your life. This is an awesome and unique experience that you get to have! Enjoy your friends and family. With this new chapter coming, it is so important to thank the people that helped you get right where you are right now. Enjoy today. We are so blessed to enjoy one more day, so let’s make the best of it!
