Q: Why did you choose the Tribe?
The atmosphere is amazing and the education is well respected.

Q: Describe a moment when you felt the most Tribe pride...
Probably the moment that I first stepped into the gym with all the other guys was when I experienced the most Tribe pride.

Q: Take us through your pre-game mental preparation routine:
I visualize what I have to do and try to take some deep breathes. I often have funny thoughts to try and calm myself down.

Q: What is your intended or declared major and why?
Accounting. I'm a numbers guy. I may take up Sociology as well at some point. The impact of the environment on a person is very interesting.

Q: Describe your dream job:
I'd love to be a senior partner at one of the big four accounting firms.

Q: If you could play another sport at W&M what would it be and why?
I honestly have no idea. I wish I was good at soccer though so that would be fun!

Q: Favorite team tradition/activity and why?
I love just hanging out with the team and obviously practicing. It's great to be around the energy that we have in the gym.

Q: Which teammate will have the most interesting job in 10 years and why?
I think it will be Jason Wang. He's smart... and strange/wild so he will have a cool job.

Q: What animal would best describe you and why?
Probably a dog. Not really sure why though. I just feel it would be that way.

Q: What is your favorite quote or phrase?
"Excuses are the nails that built the house of failure." Don Wilder

Q: What is your favorite type of food (i.e. Chinese, Mexican, etc.)?
Pad Thai!!

Q: Favorite place you have visited or traveled to and why?
Probably William and Mary... It's beautiful and relaxing.

Q: If you could sit down for lunch with anyone in the world who would it be and why?
It would probably Confucius. I'd love to get his insight on things and really see what kind of guy he is. Meeting the Buddha would also be amazing. His enlightenment would be tremendous to understand.

Q: Most addicting television show?
Adventure Time

Q: How will you change the world (or even just one person's world)?
I would love to just be able to change how things worked economically. It would be nice to know that everyone can survive on the money they have.

I have 11 siblings.

Q: What was your most-commented Facebook post?
No idea. I don't post too often.

Q: What's number one on your bucket list and why?
No idea actually. It would be cool to see the world and eventually settle down. I'm not sure if that counts but I like the sound of it.

Q: What is your best non-athletic skill?
Um... probably caring for my siblings. It comes naturally when you have so many.

Q: Favorite Person to follow on Twitter?
Twitter would consume my life so I stay away from it.

Q: What is your biggest pet peeve and why?
Biggest pet peeve is probably when I'm told to stop dragging my feet. It sounds stupid but I hate that.

Q: What is something you are afraid of?
I'm afraid of spiders.

Q: What is an obstacle you had to overcome in your life?
I had a pretty substantial shoulder surgery in my junior year of high school. It was a huge setback.
