- What student organizations, fraternities/sororities and/or sports teams were you a part of at Drexel?

- What's the first word that comes to mind when you think about Drexel?
Self-Motivated
- What’s something interesting about you that people would be surprised to know?
When my wife and I moved to upper Bucks County, PA, we became more in touch with the outdoors. I took up the enjoyable hobby of making maple syrup in the winters, collecting sap from maple trees and turning it into liquid gold. Not only is it a fun and rewarding process, but who can resist the delightful aroma of maple syrup wafting through the house?
- Describe yourself in three words.
Adventurous, authentic and ambitious
- Why did you decide to become a member of the Alumni Board of Governors?
With a wealth of experience in building digital startup companies and a strong entrepreneurial drive, I am excited to join the Alumni Board of Governors. My expertise can help the board effectively engage and connect with alumni worldwide. Witnessing the transformative impact the university has on its students fuels my motivation. As an adjunct professor in entrepreneurship and innovation, I have observed the institution shaping students' futures. I am committed to actively contributing to the university's ongoing success by providing resources, education, and support. I am humbled and enthusiastic about the opportunity to drive the university's continued growth.
