Describe yourself in one word.
Old-fashioned
What does it mean to you to be a Division III student-athlete?
An incredible amount. Being a college athlete has taught me so many things that I wouldn't have found out about myself by not competing
What is the greatest lesson you have learned so far from being a college athlete??
Hard work. Not only has it been the most important lesson for life but while playing college sports it gets taken to a whole new meaning.
Tell us about a unique experience you've had as a student at Superior?
Being able to play alongside my younger brother Cory, especially in college, has been an incredible experience for both my family and myself. Not to many families get to experience this, and I couldn't be more excited that its mine.
Who has been the most influential on your athletics career and why?
Definitely my Dad, Brian. From coaching me at such a young ago to making every game he possibly can no matter the weather, work, or drive. He taught me that he loves me no matter what happens out there on the field.
