Why did you choose Saint Joseph's College?

I chose St. Joe's because I liked the small college feel that it represented, and the scenery. I made sure that the school I chose was going to be a place I knew I could stay for four years. And St. Joe's was it.

What is/was your favorite class at St. Joe's and why?

I had two classes with Sister Sunderman and loved both of them. Even though I am not a Theology major, Sister Sunderman made her classes fun and very interesting.

What was your first job (actually received a paycheck)?

When I was 16, I got a job at F.Y.E. It was a music/movie store in Augusta.

Who would you like to trade places for a day with and why?

Any of the SportsCenter anchors. Would love to be able talk sports all day and get paid for it.

What is on your "Bucket List?"

Trip to New Zealand, go to many large sporting events (Super Bowl, Final Four, World Series, NBA Finals, World Cup)

Talent you'd most like to have:

Be able to sing and dance. Be the next Justin Timberlake!

What do you drive?

1998 Honda Accord

What is your motto?

“All or nothing.” or "No regrets, that’s my motto, well that and everybody Wang Chung tonight." --- from the movie "Out Cold"

Do you have any superstitions before you go into a big game?

Not really. One thing I have always done before a game was usually keep to myself, that way I can get mentally ready for the game.

Why did you choose your jersey #?

Well, I did not play lacrosse the first two years here at St. Joe's. So, the numbers I wanted were 25 and 12 cause I wore those in high school. But they were taken. I was going to be number 14 just because that was the first number I saw, but Colby Main wanted to trade with me and that is how I ended up with #5.

What is your most memorable moment as an athlete at SJC?

It has to be the first day I ever got to wear the Monks name on my chest. It was last year against Husson; even though we lost the game it started a new chapter for me at St. Joe's.

Who has had the greatest impact on your life?

It has to be my parents. They have led me down a great road to the person who I am today, and I couldn't thank them enough for all that they have done for me.

Can you tell us something about you that most people don't know?

I am very good at things that do not matter. For example, playing basketball on a Nerf hoop, I can make most shots no matter how crazy.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

I see myself working, hopefully doing work that I enjoy, also traveling around the country or the world seeing what is out there.

If you could meet anyone (past or present) who would it be and why?

Bill Russell, one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA. Would love to be able to talk basketball with him and I'm sure he could teach me some valuable life lessons.

What are your hobbies?

I enjoy snowboarding, watching movies and fantasy sports.

What is your ideal day away from athletics?

Being with family or friends, doing something exciting with them.

Do you plan on playing sports or coaching after you graduate?

I plan on doing adult leagues for basketball and lacrosse. I would want to be a coach at some point in my lifetime.
