"I enjoy assisting the members who come to Digital Arts class and helping them with whatever they need. I also enjoy supporting and tending to the other members throughout the day. Most importantly, I take pride in being a positive male role model that the guys can look up to, someone they can talk to, learn from, and feel comfortable around."

Thank you, Fred!
