I absolutely love downtown Flint and I love showing new people around it. I chose supply chain management because it was the closest thing related to my previous interest in becoming an engineer and is a career that focuses on all my strengths such as math, statistics, and business information systems. As an undergrad, I was a brother of Theta Chi, part of the marketing club, and even the creator of the running club. My accomplishments at the university showed me what my true talents are and gave me the confidence I need to be a leader.
