Elementary EducationWhat is your favorite sports moment at AU?Winning the Conference Championship my sophomore year and beating Benedictine in the playoffs last year.
What is your most memorable academic experience at AU?Being able to graduate this year. I thought the day would never come.
Why did you choose to attend Aurora University?Transferring from a previous college, I wanted to go somewhere I could be involved on campus and receive a good education at an affordable price. AU was the perfect fit.
Who is your all-time favorite athlete and why?That's a tough question but I gotta stay loyal to my boy Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs. People always doubt him, but the Argentinian sensation gets it done.
What is your favorite class and why?I liked my IDS class I had sophomore year. We covered debatable topics and issues that were in America today and our teacher Thomas Joseph Made it very interesting. I'm no William Shakespeare by any means but I did like to write in that class.
Who is your favorite professor and why?I've had many good teachers at Aurora, but one that sticks out was one of my education teachers Dr. Tom Jackson. He made class fun and gave us awesome techniques and plans to use in the classroom. He is a teacher I aspire to be like.
Other than the sport(s) you play, what other sports activity are you good at?I'd like to think I'm the best ping pong player ever to come out of Spartan Country. I challenge anyone to play me.
Outside of sports, what is your favorite hobby?Staying active. Whether that's hanging with friends, playing sports, working, or watching TV, I always gotta be doing something.
What is your favorite meal in the cafeteria?I think I speak for all of AU when I say Chicken Nugget Day. However, I think Coach Lancaster would give a strong argument that it's the "Mighty Mo" burger.
Who is your role model?My parents
What do you enjoy most about practice?Post man drills with Coach Lindo and listening to Coach Lancaster and Coach Robinson's one liners.
What do you like least about practice?Running sprints.
What are your plans/goals after graduation?I want to do something in the Education field.
Do you have any pregame rituals?I'm always the last guy to go out for warm ups.
What will you remember most from your college career?All the great times I had with my friends. There is really nothing like it.
As a senior, what advice would you give to freshman at AU?Become involved on campus. Whether that's sports, clubs, work, you meet new people and a chance for new opportunities in life.
