CURRENT MISSION

Finish my service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in South Africa (March 2016), then see where this journey takes me next.

ABOUT ME

Currently a United States Peace Corps Volunteer serving in Limpopo, South Africa. I work on the Community HIV/AIDS Outreach Project and do programs with young men and women to educate them about HIV and empower them to make important decisions in their lives.

In my spare time, I travel mainly in South Africa, seeing as much of this beautiful country as I can!

Before joining the Peace Corps I was a volunteer Firefighter and EMT and a proud brother of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity. I graduated in 2013 from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

I am also a burn survivor who has connected with burn survivors throughout the U.S. in experiencing once in a lifetime opportunities that have changed me completely.
