Biography

Leadership, hard work, and service, words typically reserved for caped heroes have made themselves the parameters of life for a certain student at Philander Smith University. Hailing from the streets of Memphis, Tennessee, Chance was driven from an early age to correct inconsistencies and lack of support he saw around him. Always deep in the pages of comic books, witnessing the heroics of those like Spider-Man, it didn’t take long before Bradford began to admire those who did good work in their communities. Upon arrival at Mills High School he began to blossom as both a leader and servant to his peers. His love for creators helped him uncover his true calling: Video game Development. Chance’s determination propelled him to serve as Student Body President, giving voice to his classmates, and FBLA Chapter President, where he learned the structure of leadership. As NAACP President, he deepened his understanding of history, advocacy, and civic engagement. Now, as a college student pursuing computer science and political science, Chance aims to reinvest his knowledge and opportunities into the next generation. His vision: to empower Arkansas youth and build a foundation for independent young developers, combining leadership and creativity to craft a better future.
