10 years ago, I graduated from the University of Miami ready to take on the Chicago Board of Trade with my incredible girlfriend by my side. As I reflect on the last decade, so much and so little has changed. While cities have changed, constants like my love for the Canes, Jordan, and continuing to further advance my education and assist others has only deepened. I am truly honored to be part of the UM Citizen Board and Canes Communities, which gives us the ability to not only enhance our community, but make positive impacts on future generations. Beyond grateful for the last 10 years and looking forward to the next 🙌🏼.
