University of Florida Chapter
Arnaud François
Class Twenty-Five
“There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance next time.”
Arnaud wanted to join PBM as he yearned for a form of brotherhood outside of his hometown. Being able to uplift each other whether it's physically, mentally, or professionally was something he was missing during his beginning at the University of Florida. Having brothers who are also adamant about serving their local community and campus also reflected his communal work back in South Florida, which encouraged him to seek after this organization.
