Q:: Favorite class and why...
A:: I really like my computer science classes.  I like the challenge of learning how to write computer programs.

Q:: One thing I have learned at Vermont that I will carry with me for the rest of my life is...
A:: I’ve learned how important responsibility is.   Also, with all the things that I must get done in a day (i.e. classes, practice, study), time management is a skill I have found very important to learn.

Q:: Other than playing in the NBA, my dream job is...
A:: Owning my own company someday.

Q:: Other than my parents, the person who has had the most influence on me is and why...

A:: I really like the people that I have been able to meet.  Also...I have been able to travel to many  interesting places since I’ve been at UVM.

Q:: Most memorable moment as an athlete...
A:: So far, my most memorable moment was when we played nationally ranked Boston College and we were able to beat them.  I will remember that for a long time.

Q:: What I did this week as a student...
A:: I had class every day.  I then went to study hall after class every day.  With all my computer science classes, I have many projects that are due every week and I make sure and get them done when I’m in study hall. 

Q:: What I did this week as an athlete...
A:: I went to practice everyday to get ready for the three games we had this week.  We won all three games!

Q:: Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kids about school and athletics is...
A:: I would recommend that every kid should pick a goal that is important to them and stick with it.  You should never give up even when the going gets tough.

Q:: Why I am looking forward to the America East Men’s Basketball Championship at Agganis Arena in Boston on March 2-4...
A:: If we continue to work hard in practice and in school, I think we have a great chance of winning the tournament.  If we can do that then that means we would be able to go to the National Tournament.
