What is your favorite place on campus?

“I love the gym, because I like to work out and play basketball with my friends on the intramural basketball team.”

When did you know Iona was the school for you?

“Probably when I saw the cross on campus with my dad; it kind of sealed the deal, because we are a very religious family.”

What does “Move the World” mean to you?

“Inspire as many people as possible to help others.”

Why did you choose Finance as your major?

“I have always loved it, ever since I was little. I grew up doing stocks with my dad, and now I invest, so I am really into finance.”

Why did you decide to join Greek life?

“I heard you can make lifelong friends, and it allows a lot of networking opportunities. It’s great to be in a Greek life organization, because you get to bond with a lot of people.”

Any advice for incoming freshman?

“Really try to save your money, and focus on your schoolwork. I spent too much money when I first got to college, and didn’t buckle down soon enough.”

What is your favorite experience at Iona?

“My favorite experience was rushing DU and getting close with all my brothers.”

What are your plans for the future?

“After I graduate, I want to start my own company and have a family. I am unsure about exact plans, but I would love to do real estate with my dad, and flip houses. I would also be interested in maybe joining the fire department or the military.”
