SUMMARY

 

I am a senior engineering student at Southern Utah University with a minor in CAD/CAM Engineering Technology. I have maintained a cumulative 3.25 grade point average while splitting my time between academics and athletics. I am a determined individual and I fully commit myself to anything that I do. In April, 2017 I will be the first football player at Southern Utah University to graduate with a degree in engineering. In the future I plan to pursue a master’s degree in mechanical engineering.
