MEET SAM
The Dream
"In December of 2009, I first told my Kindergarten teacher that I was going to be President of the United States one day. She was so excited, that she paraded me to all the other teachers in the hallway to repeat the news.​​​​​​​
​​​
​​
​​​​
​
From that day on, I began reading and learning as much as I could about all of the U.S. Presidents. Every President's Day, I would dress up and give a presentation to my classmates about the U.S. Presidency. I began collecting President books and memorabilia, and even started a tradition of writing letters to every living President.

​​​​​
As a teenager, I began my Presidential Tour of the United States, trying to visit as many historical sites, memorials, and graves as possible. (You can travel along with me by selecting "The Presidential Tour" tab.)
"​I am actively pursuing ways to stay involved in representative-democracy. I love people, and I want to serve my community, my state, and my country and do my part to improve it.
​

In High School, I first was elected to represent a constituency as Junior and Senior Class President. Then in college I served two terms in the Student Government as well as two terms in the Hall Council of my College Dormitory. I also served as the Vice President of Ball State University's College Republicans.​ (I've lost a few elections here and there as well, but God has taught me as much through the losses as he has through the wins.)
​​​​​​
​
I’ve had the opportunity to learn through working for the government as an intern at a county prosecutor’s office and a U.S. congressional office, and learn about history through my studies at Ball State University and as an intern at Crown Hill Historical Cemetery.

Today:
As I near the end of my academic path, I'm currently looking for opportunities to serve my community; learn and educate about history; and share the gospel!
The Journey So Far
What's next?
The End goal is still the same.
​
I want to help people, and improve the country and world in which I love.
