About Me: Phi Beta Sigma was the right choice for me in college and everyday I'm glad I made that decision. To this day, I'm best friends with many of my brothers from LSU. One of my goals is to grow the fraternity. Bring new blood in at the collegiate and alumni levels and to give inactive brothers a reason to comeback! My philosophy is to "Continue to build Phi Beta Sigma, one brother at a time." "We don't have to do everything, but the things that we do, we do it right!" GOMAB!

About Me: I grew up in New Jersey and attended The Pennsylvania State University on a Football Scholarship - 1982 National Championship Team. I also got my MBA from Penn State. After decades of various financial/investment banking and corporate leadership positions, and having raised a wonderful family I was looking for a group of good men (a Brotherhood) who were about continuous positive change in themselves (Scholarship) and in their community (Service). I knew Bro. Cross for several years and his countenance was always one of good character. When I met the Brothers of Eta Nu Sigma and learned of Phi Beta Sigma’s history, actionable motto (Culture for Service, Service for Humanity) and it’s principles (Brotherhood, Scholarship, Service), especially in the areas of business, I knew it was a good fit. I am proud to be a member of this wondrous band of Brothers.
