About the Marauder
- Why Millersville: I love the atmosphere of Millersville, from the people and staff that attend, to the fans that support us on game day. The academic side of the university is second to none in the PSAC. The dorms and residentual options are also spectacular. Finally, the coaching staff is amazing and have made me a much better football player and person. There is nothing quite like this university.
- Favorite professor at Millersville: Biology
- Off-the-field hobbies: I enjoy many things outside of football including fishing, swimming, hanging out with friends and resting when I can.
- Interesting summer job: Landscaping work
- Hidden talent: Fishing
- Favorite professional athlete: Jerome Bettis
- Favorite series to binge watch: Trailer Park Boys
- Pregame ritual: I pray before every game and always listen to the son 'Til I Collapse' by Eminem. Those two things always seem to get me ready for any game.
