About Me:
I am currently a full time student at Iowa State, but I am originally from Omaha, Nebraska. I am a part of the Greek system here at Iowa State and belong to the fraternity Phi Delta Theta. I also enjoy being active, whether it be outside fishing or playing football. Below are a few websites from Iowa State.
