Through his own personal experience, he understands the importance of having an uplifting support and management staff and wants to provide that structure and encouragement through a managerial position in the future. He feels that the higher his education level, the more resources he has to provide mentorship to help others, and that is what brought him to GBC.

"Stop thinking so much and just do it. My biggest struggles are the times I am thinking about what is due, when it is due, and how I will get it done. Just sit and do one thing at a time. Too much time is wasted on thinking. It is really that simple. If we can follow this simple rule, the sky is the limit."
