Why Central?

I chose Central because of the education and opportunities it provides. I really liked the idea of having smaller classes coming from a smaller school. The people here are fantastic and it feels like home.

Favorite professor and why?

I don’t think that I could pick out a favorite. They are all great.

In your iPod?

A little bit of everything, but a lot of country and rap music.

You’re majoring in business management because?

I find the business world very interesting and you can go in many directions with a business degree.

Sporting event you’d love to attend 

A Chicago Cubs World Series game. The curse will be broken.

What’s the most important part of the sandwich?

The meat because what is a sandwich without some sort of meat?

Teammate least likely to be able to kick an extra point successfully 

Definitely Cole Tanner. It would be very amusing to watch him attempt an extra point.

Favorite ESPN personality and why?

Chris Berman. His enthusiasm is awesome and he is hilarious.

Dream job

A sports agent for an NFL player.

Chore you absolutely hate doing

Vacuuming. It’s loud and boring.

Favorite TV Show

Either NCIS or Sons of Anarchy.  

The one thing people don’t about Coach McMartin

He has a big sweet tooth but dedicates himself to not eat sweets during the season.

Why do you love Central football?

It’s a family here. All the coaches genuinely care about you on and off the field. They work to develop you as a player, and as an individual as well. My teammates are my brothers. There is never a dull moment with them and the relationships will last a life time.

“Ten years from now I’ll...”

Hopefully have a family of my own in the Midwest and be working as a sports agent.

Favorite food from Central Market

It doesn’t get much better than breakfast for dinner.

Bucket list

Visit every MLB stadium, attend an Indianapolis Colts game, attend the Masters, and travel Europe
