Personal:

The proudest moment of my athletic career would have to be anytime I run the steeplechase.

I am a Communication major. My goal after graduation is to get a job and not live in my parents basement.

I chose St. John’s because it’s a beautiful campus and I can be an athlete and a student.

There isn’t just one funniest memory or moment that stands out to me. Any interview before practice is normally a good time.

Q & A:

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

A: Jeremy because he’s the youngest.

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: At least 7. Maybe 83.

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

A: Worlds greatest racquetball player because I could smelt the trophy down for more than $20. First fame, then fortune.
