He chose Macon State College because... "It provides a great foundation for my master's and doctorate. The quality of education and the passion of my professors are two characteristics that attracted me first off. The diversity and small class sizes provide an environment for learning that cannot be found at many colleges."

The one thing that surprised him about Macon State was... "The amount of diverse plant life and beautiful landscaping that the College has to offer."

His favorite professor during fall semester 2007 was... "Dr. Carol Melton (assistant professor of history). Dr. Melton presented 19th Century Europe in a way that was relative and passionate to the class."

His favorite place to study is... "Upstairs in the library or beside the lake."

One thing people don't know about him is... "I have had the chance to travel to six different countries and will be traveling to Madrid this summer. I tell people that seeing other countries is not something I just want to do, but something I have to do."

His friends make fun of him because... "I would rather watch Andy Griffith or talk about history than almost anything else."

The one person he'd most like to meet is... "Martin Luther. He not only encouraged people to think for themselves on religious matters, but he valued the individual's conscious above all else."

Five years from now he sees himself... "Continuing to learn more about the world around me and hopefully sharing knowledge that has been taught to me to others."
