Why did you chose Central?


I chose central because the sports facilities were amazing and the campus had a small town vibe to it.

Favorite professor and why?

So far my favorite professor is a tie between Mark Barloon and Brad Hopkins. They both have a lot of fun in their classes and you can always guarantee a good laugh in their class.

You’re majoring in business management because?

I felt that this was the right fit for me while here at central.

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

Besides athletics you can catch me driving a golf cart around when im working for student development.

Who are your go-to musical artists?

My go to music artists would be Morgan Wallen and Cody Johnson

How has attending Central and playing a sport impacted your life?

Being apart of a team here at central has given me the opportunity to truly find a brotherhood of guys willing to work really hard and always be there for you.

Who do you admire the most?

I admire my parents as they have given the most sacrifice for me to be where I am today and the person I have become.

What was the biggest or most memorable win of your wrestling career?

My favorite win in college was all the way back in my freshman year against Johnson and Wales. It was a big dual and the energy was really good being all the way out on the east coast in my first varsity matches.

If you could get rid of one food entirely, what would it be?

I could go without tuna for the rest of my life it’s just plain disgusting.

If you had to pick a different sport besides wrestling, what would you chose to compete in?

If I wasn’t wrestling I would chose football which wouldn’t look to pretty as i’m a little vertically challenged.

Favorite TV Show

That 70’s Show

What’s it like to wrestle for Coach Van Kley?

It’s an experience that will push you harder than you have ever been pushed before but at the same time It is a great experience.

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

It’s like I gained 30 brothers that I can always count on.

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

In ten years I hope to be running a business of my own.
