  • 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.”
