My favorite MSU tradition is the MSU Cowbell! I still remember getting my first cowbell as a Christmas present in my senior year of high school. My favorite place on campus is the Chapel of Memories. The chapel was where I took the first step to joining my fraternity.

My favorite class at MSU was Modern Western World History with Dr. Stephen Brain. That class alone almost made me change my major to History. It felt like we'd entered into a time machine every time we walked into that classroom and we got to EXPERIENCE the unfolding narrative of history instead of just memorizing dates and place names for an exam.

The student organization that had the largest impact on my life in college and since graduation would have to be my fraternity. I joined Beta Upsilon Chi as a freshman at MSU and the men of that chapter built me up in my faith and encouraged me in such a way that developed me into the man I am today. Additionally, my experience recruiting for the fraternity and giving tours of campus for the Office of Admissions as a Roadrunner led me to this career that I love so much!

I'm not a big shopper, but I do enjoy supporting local businesses in the Starkville community. One of my best friends sells her pottery (Taproot Pottery) in local boutiques and coffee shops. I generally love being out and about spending quality time with my friends and loved ones. I'd be equally as happy hosting dinner or Bible study and sitting around the fire in my home!

I love The Lord of the Rings (books & movies) and The Chronicles of Narnia (books - not the movies). My favorite artists are The Oh Hellos, Judah & The Lion, and Jon Bellion. The best show in existence is Netflix's "Dark." This is not a matter of opinion, and it is not up for debate. Go watch it. Now.
