Why did you chose Central?
             
When I visited Central, it felt like home. It was very welcoming and you weren’t another head in lecture hall. Everyone wanted to see you succeed in whatever you did. Central has been more then I could have ever asked for. I’m extremely humbled with my decision of attending Central.

Favorite professor and why?

I would have to say Professor Bergman because she understands the struggle of trying to achieve an accounting major.

Who are your go-to musical artists ?
             
State Champs, Drake and The 1975 are a few but I’m not picky.

You’re majoring in Accounting because?
             
It was a random elective that my high school put me in and the rest is history.

Favorite professional athlete and why?
             
Randy Moss because he played for my favorite team when I was growing up, the Minnesota Vikings.

What is your favorite Central football practice tradition?

The boo-yeahs.

Country you want to visit before you die and why?
             
Australia because I want to go find Nemo… but really Australia has always interested me.

Which teammate would you pick as your partner to compete in the Amazing Race and why?
             
P.J. Norem, because he copied my name and he would scare away the competition because he’s a Sasquatch.

What movie is so good that you can quote the entire thing?
             
The Benchwarmers.

Favorite knock knock joke?
             
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
A broken pencil.
Never mind. It’s pointless.


Favorite TV Show
             
The Office or The Big Bang Theory

What’s one thing people might not know about Coach Maiuri?
             
He likes to fish.

What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central football?
             
How close we are, people aren’t lying when they say you develop a family bond with your teammates here at Central.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”
             
Hopefully married but that means I have to get a girlfriend first, yelling at some of my kids teammates during sporting events and have a job that I enjoy working at.

Favorite food from Central Market
             
Country Fried Steak

Bucket list
             
Visit as many countries as I can
Learn to surf
Become a beach bum
