Eagle Scout
I earned the highly esteemed rank of Eagle Scout in 2012, where I led a younger group of scouts on a project to benefit the community. My project was to incorporate music therapy to a retirement home in Cabot, Pennsylvania, to where residents could listen to music that was available to them 24/7. I placed multiple hand built CD stands in the recreation center and converted all of the residents existing records to digital media to be able to be listened to with CD players. The rank of Eagle Scout prepares young men to become leaders in the community and be a trustworthy member of a troop, and moving through life, have an attitude that goals can become reality with teamwork.
