Q: Why did you choose the Tribe?
I chose the Tribe because the Tribe chose me.

Q: Describe a moment when you felt the most Tribe pride...
Getting the phone call from Coach Boone to let me know I was headed to Williamsburg.

Q: Take us through your pre-game mental preparation routine:
I don't try to work myself up too much.  I like to relax on the morning of gameday. I watch a lot of ESPN College Gameday at the hotel. For the bus ride over I'll put some tunes on, but that's it.  Then I'll go outside in our travel gear and toss the ball with Rob Asmar before going out to warmups.

Q: What are some community activities you or your team has done?
Recently we did a car wash to benefit a local organization called Avalon.  We were outside all day, and even though it was a lot of work, it was actually pretty fun.

Q: What is your intended or declared major and why?
Economics - For me, it's the subject in college that comes easiest to me, and I feel like the things I'm learning in it are quite applicable to the future.

Q: Describe your dream job:
Besides for playing a sport professionally, I would want to captain a chartered fishing boat or be the General Manager of the Pittsburgh Steelers

Q: If you could play another sport at W&M what would it be and why?
I think it would be cool if William and Mary had a Varsity Men's Lax team. Lacrosse needs to develop collegiately at the men's level in more parts of the country.

Q: Favorite team tradition/activity and why?
Going to the Welcome Back dinners hosted by the various Tribe Football fans during the middle of Training Camp.  They're always incredible and can't come at a better time of the year.

Q: Which teammate will have the most interesting job in 10 years and why?
I'm going with Jordan King here.  He's learning computer science and wants to get into technology assistance with the armed forces, so I feel like he'll have a highly demanding job.

Q: What animal would best describe you and why?
I like turtles.

Q: What is your favorite quote or phrase?
"If you're not ready to commit yourself to excellence, there are too many really fine athletes out there that will prevent you from becoming number one!" - Joe Paterno

Q: What is your favorite type of food (i.e. Chinese, Mexican, etc.)?
Mom's buffalo wing pizza.  Anything she makes is incredible.

Q: Favorite place you have visited or traveled to and why?
Panama City Beach, FL - You have to go in order to know.  Visiting my Mom's relatives in Belgium was pretty cool.  A lot of people don't know that the best french fries are made in Belgium and not in France.

Q: If you could sit down for lunch with anyone in the world who would it be and why?
Anybody from my family that I haven't seen in a while.

Q: Most addicting television show?
Family Guy

Q: How will you change the world (or even just one person's world)?
I always try to get more people to have more fun.

Q: Tell us something about yourself that most people don't know...
I've been on two fishing trips to Alaska with my cousins right before high school.

Q: What was your most-commented Facebook post?
One time I went home for a weekend on Fall Break I got a ton of hits.

Q: What's number one on your bucket list and why?
To own a beach house - Because I don't know how I'd rather spend my time.

Q: What is your best non-athletic skill?
Inspiring Greatness

Q: Favorite Person to follow on Twitter?
Easy, the fake Rex Grossman account

Q: What is your biggest pet peeve and why?
I can't stand people who are rude.  I've got no patience for people like that.

Q: What is something you are afraid of?
Snakes.  My roommate had one and there was nothing I could have hated living with more.

Q: What is an obstacle you had to overcome in your life?
I wouldn't say that I've lived a hard life, but my hands shake like crazy.  I can't even draw a straight line if I had to.
