Introduction

Hi everyone, my name is Chris Hand and I'm from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I only have one sibling, an older brother and a few step siblings in the state.  Most of my family is from Massachusetts and I have a very large extended family there that I visit on occasion.  I'm a finance major and I want to work in banking, though I'm not sure if I'd prefer the investing side or the commercial side. I've had the opportunity to travel a little more than most because I was in the military for four years before starting college.  I was stationed in Hawaii, deployed to Iraq for a year and did training missions in South Korea.  I also took some time off to live with a good friend of mine in Germany where we traveled to a few other countries in western Europe.  I transferred into UF from a smaller school in south Florida just last semester and I love it so far.
