Why did you choose Moravian College?
I first chose Moravian College because of football and its proximity to my home, but upon arrving here, the friendly atmosphere and great people I met kept me here.
What is your major and why?
I am a Psychology/Pre-med major because the subject of Psychology has always interested me, and by doing the Pre-med track, I hope to make alot of money some day doing something I enjoy by becoming a Psychiatrist.
What has been your favorite course at Moravian and why?
My favorite course at Moravian was Chemistry 1 because it is an interesting subject, and the professors taught it that semester were two of the best I have ever had.
What are your plans for the future once you finish your degree at Moravian?
When I graduate from Moravian, I hope to move on to med school to pursue my goal of becoming a Psychiatrist.
What is your most memorable moment as a Greyhound?
My most memorable moment as a Greyhound was the first game I played my sophomore year against Ithaca. It was my first game back from being out almost my entire freshman year with a back injury, and I wound up getting my first collegiate interception. Not being able to play for a year made me realize how much I value this game.
How has being an athlete helped you as a student and in the classroom?
Being an athlete has helped me as a student by teaching me dicipline and forcing me to manage my time.
What is the hardest part of your sport?
The hardest part of my sport is that it is essentially all-year around in that you have to prepare and work hard through the winter, spring, and summer, if you hope to be successful in the fall.
Why do you wear your jersey number?
I wear the number 27 because it was given to me when I came here, and since it is the number of one of the greatest Denver Broncos safeties to ever play, Steve Atwater, I kept it.
What advice do you have for a prospective Moravian College student-athlete?
I would tell any prospective Moravian student-athlete to learn to manage their time when they come to college as balancing a sport and academics is not always easy, but can be done with proper time management and hard work.
