Personal:

The proudest moment of my track career was winning the Lake Conference Championship Senior year.

I am an Accounting major. I'd like to become a CPA and get hired by a noteworthy firm. For my career goals, it would be pretty nice to retire by 50. That way I'd have 52 years of retirement left in me.

I chose St. John's mainly due to the Accounting department available to students here, the beautiful campus, great coaching, and the great community.

There are too many funny moments to be able to pick just one. Long runs can be pretty funny. Passes the time well when you can't stop laughing.

Q & A:

Q: Which coach would you pick to live on a deserted island with and why?

A: Probably Tim Miles; I think he knows a lot of random/pointless things that would help us get back to civilization.

Q: If you were in the coliseum and were challenged to fight wiener dogs, what is the highest number of wiener dogs you could defeat?

A: I don't like to limit myself. I'll take on as many as you can throw at me.

Q: Would you rather be the world's greatest racquetball player or have $20 right now?

A: I'd rather be the world's greatest racquetball player because that means I would at least be the greatest at something, no matter how pointless it is.
