Why have you chosen to be involved in music?

I grew up parented by two band kids and when I heard the stories they told about their band experience, I decided I wanted to have similar stories to tell my own kids one day about how wonderful music is.

Why Kappa Kappa Psi?

When transferring to CNU I had to meet with a fellow discussing my plans and if I wanted to join any organizations. The fellow I met with was a former brother of KKPsi and he encouraged me to at least go to KKPW. After that week I was hooked and couldn’t imagine doing anything else.

How do you feel your experience as a brother will help you beyond college?

While there are many things that I think will help me beyond college, I think the main one comes from the desire to strive for the highest. Striving for the highest reminds me to only try my best and then a little bit further than that, but also to never give up on my dreams.
