Personal:
My proudest moment in my athletic career is everyday I step into that ring and I throw stronger, faster & further than I have previously.
I am a Computer Science/Pre-engineering Major with a Global Business leadership/Escholars Minor. After graduation, my short term goal is to further my education until completion at Doctorate Level (Doctorate in Technology/Computer Science). My long term goal is to own my own computer firm. I’m driven to explore innovative minds of young computer scientists and innovators and to create newer more efficient means of technology.
I chose to go to St. John’s because it is closely linked with my high school in the Bahamas, and to use this as an opportunity to be a role model to my peers and younger generations back home. I want to show them that a “young Bahamian boy” with the right mindset and opportunities can flourish into someone extraordinary.
The funniest moment for me on the team was when a couple of our team members (especially David) dressed up in clown beach costumes and ran the 4x400 at the alumni meet. They finished first.
Q & A:
Q: Which coach would you pick to live on a deserted island with and why?
A: I would choose Jeremy. Seems like a pretty cool guy and has a couple tricks up his sleeve to keep us alive.
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: All, because outsmarting animals from eating you alive/killing you is an occasional skill you learn growing up on an island.
Q: Would you rather be the world's greatest racquetball player or have $20 right now?
A: I’d rather be the worlds greatest racquetball player. That way I’d be both rich and a role model to younger kids to follow their passions and strive to be the best at what they put their minds to.
