WHY LINFIELD? I chose Linfield College because I wanted to play football at a school that was close to home.  
 
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD? Being a student-athlete at Linfield means holding myself to a higher standard and going above and beyond.
 
WHAT MAKES YOU AN INTERESTING STUDENT-ATHLETE? I grew up on a farm.

WHEN NOT COMPETING IN SPORTS OR STUDYING FOR SCHOOL, I LIKE TO SPEND MY TIME…Hanging out friends, playing golf or boating.
 
THE GREATEST LESSON THAT I’VE LEARNED WHILE COMPETING IN ATHLETICS AT LINFIELD HAS BEEN…The importance of preparation and how it carries over to more than just the field.
 
WHAT HAS BEEN THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR LINFIELD ATHLETIC CAREER THUS FAR? The highlight of my Linfield career was the last game of the season against Pacific my sophomore year. We started the game with a fly-over and scored 50 points in the first half.
