What has been your favorite moment as a student-athlete at Union?
 
My favorite moment as a student athlete at Union was winning the Liberty League championship my freshman year. Our team was fortunate enough to host the championship game in front of a wild packed home crowd. Cutting down the nets in front of our friends and families is a moment I'll cherish forever.
 
How has being a student-athlete at Union benefited you over the last four years?
 
Being a student-athlete has benefitted me over the last four years by providing me with a group of guys that I can rely on both on and off the court. It also gave me the opportunity to grow as a leader.  
 
What has been your most meaningful experience outside of athletics?
 
My most meaningful experience outside of athletics was being an Orientation Advisor my junior and senior years. Being help to help incoming first-years adjust to a new setting and become comfortable at Union was definitely an awesome experience. 
  
What advice (if any) would you give to younger athletes about their time at Union?
 
My advice to younger athletes is to embrace the good moments as well as the challenging moments because there is no better feeling than seeing hard work pay off.
