Bio

  I am a Senior at Michigan Technological University majoring in Mechanical Engineering.  I am originally from Birmingham, AL (Southern Boy)  born and raised for 18 yrs.  I get the question " How did you end up at Tech?"  all the time.  So I will tell you.  I applied online at www.fastweb.com to several engineering schools and Tech was one of them.  I had plans on attending Georgia Tech because it was a great school and it was close to home.  Unfortunately I didn't get accepted to Georgia Tech, but I did not dwell on it because I had other options.  So, during my Senior year of High School I received many letters saying that I had been accepted from different school but only 2 offering me a Scholarship.  The 2 schools were Tuskegee  University and Michigan Tech.  As I prepared to make my decision between the two, my high school was in the process of having an awards banquet.  To my surprise Michigan Tech sent a recent graduate to my high school and awarded me my scholarship at this banquet.  This totally took me by surprise and won me over and the rest is history.  

    My college career here at Michigan Tech has not been a cake walk I have been through many ups and downs with the weather, my grades, and many other things.  But threw all the struggles I am still here and strong.  I have joined many organizations:  Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.; National Society of Black Engineers; Mechanical Engineering Student Advisory Committee; Praise In Effect Gospel Choir; and  the Black Student Association.  I have also join the Noise and Vibration Enterprise Program.  I have had leadership roles in many of the organizations.  I have obtained skills in welding, and on various machining shop equipment.  I am proficient in Computer Aid and Design, Matlab, and Microsoft Office.  

I am a  God Fearing, hard working individual and strive to be the best at everything that I do.  I love to sing and play sports.  I am a very fun and loving person.
