He currently helps coach and support youth wrestling throughout New England and is a member of the Connecticut Bar Association, the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association and the American Association for Justice.

“I loved the GC Honors program and Greensboro College. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”
