Why did you chose Central?

I chose Central because of the people. Each time I visited campus every person that I met made an effort to make me feel welcome and get to know me. I didn’t get that at other schools I visited.

Favorite professor and why?

Professor George Nwaogu because he makes sitting through an economics lecture easier with his sense of humor and timely jokes.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

My musical tastes are all over the board, so I don’t necessarily have any go to artists, but if I had to choose one, I’d probably say Darius Rucker.

You’re majoring in business finance because? 

I am majoring in business finance because I like the flexibility a business degree gives. I don’t have to go down a set path, and I could change my path at any time if I wanted to.

If there was a movie about your life, who would you want to play you?

Will Ferrell because he’d make my life seem much crazier and funnier than it really is.
 
Which teammate of yours would make the best U.S president and why?

Martin Olson because he is always calm and collected and thinks before he speaks.
 
What was your dream job growing up?

I always wanted to be a cop. 
 
What is something you have always wanted to try but are too scared to?

I have always wanted to go skydiving, but my fear of heights has kind of held me back.
 
Pancheros or Chipotle?

Chipotle by a mile. Pancheros is barely a step above Taco Bell.

Best part of the football team’s trip to Austria in May?

I love to be outdoors, so my favorite part was white water rafting and hiking in the Swiss Alps.

Favorite TV Show.

The Office or How I Met Your Mother.

What is it like to play for Coach McMartin?

Playing for Coach Mac has been a great experience. He pushes you to become a better football player, but also a better person. Playing for him has helped me develop the skills I need to be successful in all facets of life. 

What’s your favorite part about being a member of Central football?

I love the genuine camaraderie our team has. We are always having fun together inside and outside of football, and any one of us would do anything to help out a fellow teammate.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

be living somewhere warm, working at a bank, playing slow pitch softball, and have a family.

Favorite food from Central Market.

Pork Tacos.

Bucket list.

Run a marathon, go skydiving, visit Australia, visit Alaska, backpack around Europe, visit every MLB stadium, go to space, hang out with Rob Gronkowski, see each of my favorite sports teams win a championship
