Why he joined the FIU Alumni Association: I joined the FIU Alumni Association to continue to the bonds I formed as a student.

What does FIU mean to him: My years as a student at FIU included several as part of the nationally ranked FIU cheerleading squad, as a Delta Chi fraternity brother and even as the 1992 Homecoming Prince. Later on I spent eight years as an FIU employee involved in implementing and supporting the PantherSoft system. FIU is not only a great university which created the foundation for my career, but the lasting friendships and unforgettable memories at FIU will stay with me forever. I can definitely say that part of my heart will always be at FIU. Go Panthers!
