Extracurricular Activities/Sports/Hobbies: In High School I played football, wrestled, ran track and was a boy scout. In college, I’m a full-time cadet.

Favorite thing about being in AFROTC: The bonds formed with other wingmen
Most challenging part of being in AFROTC: Time management as a full-time college student involved in the AFROTC
What leadership opportunities have you been given as a cadet in AFROTC? As a cadet I’ve been given opportunities to lead as a member of the team. Everyone in the flight has an important job. When it’s your turn to lead that’s just another roll as part of the team. Leadership in AFROTC is practiced as a service.
What advice would you give a student thinking about becoming a cadet? Everyone starts out not knowing what they’re getting into. Take a leap of faith and commit to being the best cadet you can be. Balance patience and persistence. Persistently strive to get better every day but be patient with the results. It takes persistence over a long period of time to improve at something.
