Currently I am majoring in Finance at the University of Notre Dame. I live in Urbandale, IA. The Morris Scholarship has helped secure financing for my tuition costs, and I am one step closer to fulfilling the promise I made to my mom before she passed away from cancer. I made a vow that I would make her proud and become the successful man she always wanted me to be: a man of faith, character, and wisdom. Getting my degree will open up new career opportunities and help me be successful in life.
