I am currently a senior at the University of Connecticut, majoring in physics. I attended Bristol Central High School in Connecticut where I graduated as salutatorian. Along with taking many science courses I was in the concert choir for all four years. I was also a member of the Bell City Jazz Choir, Madrigals, and performed in many musicals. In fact, I spent my first semester at UConn as a vocal performance major.

I am in the Honors Program at UConn, and during my senior year I will be doing research in the field of lasers and optics with Dr. George Gibson for my senior thesis. My hobbies include rock climbing and singing; I am a member of the UConn Climbing Club, and occasionally a member of the performing arts group, Huskies on Stage. I am also a brother in Alpha Phi Omega, a national community service fraternity, and a member of Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honors society.
