Why did you chose Central?
I applied to 10 different schools and Central was not one of them, but then Coach Dunham contacted me after my state cross country meet and wanted to meet with me in my school. I said “No” but then my mother told me to hear what he had to say. I consented and heard his spiel and I liked him and he convinced me to come for a visit. I came for a visit and loved it and it felt like home. I am happy to have chosen Central as my college home.
Favorite professor and why?
My favorite Professor is Coach Fuller, he is great at communicating the material that we have to learn and we have a lot of fun doing it. He is also quite the storyteller.
Who are your go-to musical artists?
I like Chis Tomlin, Newsboys and Crowder.
You’re majoring in Exercise Science/ Physical Education because...
I love working with kids and playing games with them and teaching them how to become healthy individuals. I also enjoy building relationships with students and teaching is a great way to do that. I also look forward to pursuing college coaching at the college level in the future.
Who would play you in a movie about your life?
Vin Diesel, It would be similar to his acting in the movie “The Pacifier”
What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
I have eaten Ketchup with Ice Cream.
What is your favorite quote or saying and why do you like it?
“Growing old is mandatory, Growing up in optional”. I like this quote because even though you get older, it doesn’t mean that you have to stop having fun and running around like crazy.
What was your first detention for?
I have been lucky enough to stay out of the detention room.
Best pizza place in Pella
George’s pizza is very good. They also have friendly service and free ice cream on the way out.
Best gift you’ve ever received
I received a road racing bicycle for Christmas and Birthday present combined. It is awesome.
Favorite TV Show
I like Gilligan’s Island, there is just something about being stuck on an island that seems fun.
What’s one thing people might not know about Coach Dunham?
Coach Dunham plays in the Worship Band at his church and he is an elder at that church.
What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central cross-country?
The cross- country team is an awesome group of guys that I can hang out with and work hard with. The best part about being a member of the Central Cross Country team is all the support you get from your teammates and having people to run with on a daily basis.
“Ten years from now I’ll...”
be wherever God puts me.
Favorite food from Central Market
All of the Cook To Order breakfast foods. They keep throwing new options out there and I love them all.
Bucket list.
I want to compete in the Ironman in Hawaii. I want to go on a long-term mission trip to Africa. I want to work at a place where I can serve others and not be so concerned about myself and how much money I am making or how good of a house I have.
