Why did you chose Central?

I chose Central because it felt like home from the minute I set foot on campus. The ability to get a great education and continue my athletic career was something I couldn't pass up.

Favorite professor and why?

This one is tough, but I would have to say Dr. Olin. Last semester was the first time I didn't take a class taught by Dr. Olin and it just wasn't the same.

You’re majoring in history because?

I find it extremely interesting and believe that without understanding history we are doomed to repeat it.

Besides athletics, what else are you involved in on campus?

Besides athletics I am involved with History Club.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

Anything EDM or rap, but if I had to choose a few I would pick Zedd and Lil Skies.

What did you do for work and for fun in the summer of 2019?

I worked with a local carpenter building decks and remodeling different parts of houses. For fun, my friends and I went to Spring Awakening, an EDM music festival in Chicago, along with seeing the musical Hamilton with my girlfriend.

Best food from Chicago?

If you don't say Portillos then are you really from Chicago?

Favorite Superhero?

Captain America

Teammate who should try out for America’s Got Talent?

Andrew Benhart with his lip sync routine.

Biggest pet peeve?

Loud chewing

Favorite TV Show

Game of Thrones

What’s it like to play for Coach Laidlaw?

Playing for Coach Laidlaw is a lot of fun. He creates a competitive setting that allows us to grow both as individuals and as a team.

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

The friendships and lessons that I have gained throughout my time at Central.

What do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?

Livin the dream.
