About Me

Two Thumbs Up!

In many pictures of me, you'll see me pose with two thumbs up. As long as I can remember, my goal as been to create more "fun" in the world. This is reflected in my passion for themed entertainment and my commitment to those around me. As Vice President of the Theme Park Engineering Group, I have the opportunity to always make new connections and the easiest way to do so is with a smile. As an engineering student, a lot of the coursework can be stressful, so I like to always have a joke ready and a plan for our next activity. This mindset has helped me overcome my life's greatest hardships, and motivates to make an everlasting impact on the themed entertainment industry. I strive to create fun, lifelong memories for people I may not ever meet. Keeping a positive outlook and two thumbs up is my motivation to be a better person.
