Q: Why did you choose the Tribe?

I really enjoyed everyone I met on my visits and desperately wanted to get away from Chicago winters.

Q: Describe a moment when you felt the most Tribe pride...

During the second half of the CAA tournament game against JMU, all the Tribe fans were going crazy and made the arena really loud. It was great to see that much fan support away from home.

Q: Take us through your pre-game mental preparation routine:

I usually just look at the scouting report, nothing special.

Q: What are some community activities you or your team have done?

We all went and visited disable children at a hospital down in Norfolk. It was a fantastic experience for both the team and the kids we were visiting. We also visited the local boy scout troop and answered some questions and signed autographs.

Q: What is your intended or declared major and why?

Business because I'd like to either start a company of my own or possibly be a banker.

Q: Describe your dream job:

I would love to be a PGA golfer with Andrew Pavloff as my caddie. We could hang out all day and enjoy ourselves at all these great places around the world, and even if we didn't win a single tournament, at least we had fun!

Q: If you could play another sport at W&M what would it be and why?

It would have to be golf, I just really enjoy the game. I would definitely never be good enough to play in competition, but it would be a blast. 

Q: Favorite team tradition/activity and why?

My favorite team activity would have to be the road trips, simply because of sticky hands. Some of us go to Bloom before the trips and buy them and they usually turn into a pretty good time.

Q: Which teammate will have the most interesting job in 10 years and why?

JohnMark Ludwick, simply because he does pretty much everything well. In 10 years he could be doing anything, maybe the CEO of Robitussin, or a bull fighter, or pretty much anything in between. 

Q: What animal would best describe you and why?

A kangaroo, because of my unique leaping ability. 

Q: What is your favorite quote or phrase?

"Beast Mode" -Marshawn Lynch 

Q: Favorite place you have visited or traveled to and why?

I really enjoyed Maui, they have literally every activity except skiing.  

Q: If you could sit down for lunch with anyone in the world who would it be and why?

Probably Rickie Fowler, he seems like a pretty cool guy. 

Q: Most addicting television show?

Prison Break, I think I watched the whole show in three weeks or something while I should have been studying for finals. Thank goodness all my finals went OK.

Q: How will you change the world (or even just one person's world)?

I would love to create a very efficient alternative energy source that was available to everyone regardless of their economic state. I think that could save a lot of lives if people don't have to fight over rare energy sources.

Q: Tell us something about yourself that most people don't know...

I broke my arm in first grade at Math camp.

Q: What's number one on your bucket list and why?

 I'd love to play a round of golf with Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson.

Q: What is your best non-athletic skill?

I can impersonate certain people pretty well.  

Q: Favorite Person to follow on Twitter?

Doug Howard

Q: What is your biggest pet peeve and why?

Slipping on bananas in Mario Kart, there's simply nothing worse.

Q: What is something you are afraid of? 

Snakes. Any kind of snake, even the fake ones.

Q: What is an obstacle you had to overcome in your life?

I moved from Charlotte to Chicago in the middle of fifth grade, but that's not really an obstacle, it's all I could think of.
