WHAT ARE THE REASONS YOU CHOSE TO ATTEND LINFIELD?
I chose to attend Linfield because it felt like home the moment I stepped on campus. I connected right away with the football coaching staff and the players they made me feel welcomed, supported, and motivated to grow. The strong tradition of excellence, both academically and athletically, made it clear that Linfield was the right place for me. I couldn’t picture myself going anywhere else.
 
WHAT DOES BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE AT LINFIELD MEAN TO YOU?
Being a student-athlete at Linfield means striving for excellence in everything I do—on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. It’s about discipline, accountability, and pushing myself and my teammates to be better every day. It also means representing Linfield with pride and knowing that I’m part of a legacy that values hard work, integrity, and brotherhood.
 
HOW HAS PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS MADE YOU A BETTER PERSON?
Sports have shaped me in so many ways. They’ve taught me how to handle pressure, how to work as part of a team, and how to bounce back from failure. I’ve learned the importance of time management, leadership, and staying focused on long-term goals. Most importantly, sports have helped me grow in confidence and character and have shown me the value of perseverance and grit. All thanks to our Lord and Savior.
 
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS?
In 10 years, I see myself working as a firefighter, living a meaningful life with a great wife by my side. I want to be helping people in need every day and making a difference in my community. My goal is to have a strong family, a fulfilling career, and to continue growing as a person while serving others.
