Q: Three Things I Can’t Live without...
A: Family, Friends, IPod

Q: Why I Chose UNH...
A: I always wanted to be close enough to home that my parents would be able to come watch my games. It’s in a small town and the campus is beautiful, it just felt like a good fit for me.

Q: Favorite Class and Why...
A: My favorite class that I have taken was an introductory sociology class I took last year. It wasn’t your everyday math or history class, which was nice and it covered issues that were relevant to everyday life.

Q: One thing I have learned at UNH that I will carry with me for the rest of my life is... A: Life moves on after athletics. I have to enjoy every moment I have while I’m here because it will go by quickly and I’ll never be able to get it back.

Q: My dream job, other than the NBA/WNBA is...
A: A couple of my teammates and I have a plan to own our own restaurant/sports bar.

Q: The person, other than my parents, who has had the most influence on me is, and why...
A: My high school gym teacher. He is one of the most genuinely caring people I have ever met. He always has a positive attitude and knows how to pick someone up when they are down.

Q: The best thing about being a UNH Wildcat is...
A: The relationships you form with your teammates and other athletes. We spend so much time together and have formed friendships that will last the rest of my life.

Q: My most memorable moment as an athlete...
A: The time I spent with my teammates. Looking back I don’t remember all the scores, but I will always remember the fun that I had with the people I was with.

Q: What I did this week as a student...
A: UNH is on winter break right now so I’m not taking any classes, so I’m enjoying the time off.

Q: What I did this week as an athlete...
A: Conference play has just started so we’ve been practicing and preparing for teams. We had a game last night against Hartford and are leaving tomorrow after practice for Binghamton.

Q: Based upon my experiences growing up, my advice for young kids about school and athletics is...
A: My advice for young kids would be to work as hard as they can because they will be rewarded for it in the end. At the time it may not seem worth it and it won’t always be fun, but in the end you will get out whatever you put into both school and athletics. You never want to look back and have regrets.

Q: Why am I looking forward to the America East Basketball Championship...
A: Tournaments are always exciting because it doesn’t matter how well you did during the regular season, anything can happen!
