Where are living now?

Did you play collegiately?
Kent State University

What are you doing now?
I am the Athletic Academic Counselor for the football and softball at Kent State University.

Married?  Children?
No.

What is the fondest memory from your playing career at DeSales?
Signing day would have to be my fondest memory from my career at DeSales. Playing at DeSales gave me the opportunity to play at the next level and opened so many doors for me. So, being able to celebrate that day and accomplishment with everyone that helped me get there was very special. It was not a easy road but that day made all the hard work worth it.

What made playing for DeSales so special?
The relationships I was able to build with my former teammates and coaches.

What was it like playing for your coach?
Coach Wiggins always challenged me to get better everyday and never allowed anyone to be mediocre. The confidence he had in the program and his players was contagious. He built a winning mentality that will always be apart of me.

What was your best game?
I played wide receiver so a great game was two catches for me! My best game as a stallion was probably against Rye my senior year. I don't remember my stats but i know it was a fun trip to Kentucky and we got the win!

Do you still follow DeSales, if yes, how closely?
Yes, I try to make it to two games a season and a summer practice. I also follow all of the social media accounts to see how we did each week.
