How did you choose your sport? I was convinced to sign up at an after-school activities event as an incoming freshman in high school and I am very thankful for all that the sport has helped me accomplish and grow since then not only as a player but as a person.
Why did you come to Moravian College? Growing up in Bethlehem, I've always seen and heard great things about the college, so I was very grateful when I was given the opportunity to make attending Moravian into a reality.
What is your major and how did you choose it? I am a business management major with a minor in computer science. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time working closely with my dad to help run the family business and it really inspired me to get a degree that would open as many doors as possible in the world of business.
What are your future plans? I plan on getting my MBA at Moravian and I am really interested in working in a high-level management position for logistics such as supply-chain management. I also aspire to be a business owner later in my life.
What is your favorite place on campus? 3rd floor of Reeve's Library (silent floor)
What activities/organizations at Moravian College have you been active in as a student-athlete? Other than football, I have been a mentor for the Five Star Heart Project and also was a part of an InFocus Symposium for an interdisciplinary project––Finding Our Voices, Finding Our Way.
What is your most memorable moment at Moravian? Preseason football camp is a difficult one to forget; it's hard but a lot of fun being on campus a week or two early and only having to worry about football.
Do you have any pre-event rituals or superstitions? Nothing superstitious, but in high school, it was always special to have a team pasta dinner the night before game day. As a college athlete, I still try my best to load up on carbohydrates and hydrate well before games.
What advice do you have for prospective student-athletes looking to attend Moravian College? Take advantage of all of the available resources that Moravian has to offer, such as the greyhound tutoring program or the MAC events.
What is the best piece of advice you've been given? Don't mistake attendance for achievement.
Who are your role models/most influential people? My parents have been the most influential as they have always worked very hard to provide my siblings and me with more support and guidance than I could ever ask for.
Which three people, living or dead, would you like to share a meal with? J. Cole, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Steve Jobs
