Affiliations
I'm a brother of the Epsilon Hexaton Chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa at Virginia Tech, a fraternity built around promoting brotherhood, stimulating scholarship, and developing character. Our chapter's philanthropy is Special Olympics Area 9, which serves athletes here in the New River Valley, and I help out with the fundraising and events we put on to support them. Being part of it has taught me a lot about teamwork, showing up for my community, and following through on commitments outside the classroom.
