Born and raised in rural Kansas, I am currently completing a B.S. in Mathematics (Industrial/Academic emphasis) at Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kansas. Over the course of my studies, I’ve developed a strong interest in graph theory, optimization, and probability — areas that appeal to both my logical and creative sides.

I’m drawn to mathematics because of its precision, its deep structure, and its ability to model and solve real-world problems. I plan to pursue graduate studies in mathematics, with the goal of contributing through both research and teaching.

Outside of math, I enjoy creative activities like doodling, music, and cooking with my beautiful fiancée Hazel Frans.
