INSPIRATIONAL PERSON OR QUOTE & WHY | “Trophies are awesome, but only the glory of God lasts forever.” –“This quote sticks with me because as great as winning and fame is, it has to end sometime. God, and running for his glory, however, is something that never fades.”
FAVORITE CCU MOMENT & WHY | “One of my favorite moments at CCU was when I ran a college PR, and my teammate and friend David was running back and forth across the infield screaming at me in excitement.”
OUTSIDE OF SPORTS | “Outside of sports I am studying to become a preacher, and I work in the on-campus mailroom. I love meeting new people and having a good time with those around me.”
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE CCU | “I chose CCU because of the opportunities and the people I met. There are great opportunities for learning and working and sport that I couldn't pass it up. And the students and professors here are amazing to work and live with.”
FAMILY TIES | “My dad is an X-ray tech and instructor teaching at the local hospital. My mom works from home and takes care of the house. I have 7 siblings (8 of us total). 3 sisters and 4 brothers; 2 biological siblings and 5 adopted siblings.”
POST COLLEGE DREAMS | “I want to go into ministry and teach people about Jesus. I want to be preacher and talk to large audiences about the faith that I have and the truth I have learned. I also want to coach track and field on the side and pass on what I have learned.”
