Overall GPA : 3.93
2024 GVSU Computer Engineering Student of the Year
NCAA D2 Collegiate Wrestling
Minor in Computer Science and Math

At GVSU I have been able to design, build, and evaluate hardware and software sytems. The computer engineering program involves both electrical engineering with computer science disciplines to solve problems with applications in computing systems, embedded software, custom hardware, consumer applications, and more.

Along with my studies, I am currently a student athlete competing in collegiate wrestling. My current accolades are 3x NCWA All-Academic Team and 3x NCWA All-American. I was the GVSU Wrestling Club President and captain, and was a national qualifier D2 varsity team. I have also served as the GVSU Young Life Vice President.
