Prior to the season being interrupted, how was the year going - what was the team's expectations and goals?

The year was going decently. We were starting to catch our stride I believe. We had every expectation of making it back to the PAC Championship Game and winning it. Then hopefully making a run at the Regionals

What are your personal career goals? Jobs, internships, interests moving forward?

Moving forward it is my goal to attend and graduate from law school with my J.D. as well as my M.B.A. I intend on pursuing a career in environmental or family practice law. I one day hope to own a firm.

Do you have any advice for your younger teammates or recruits that are looking at coming to Bethany?

Work hard. Not every day is going to be easy but you must understand that you get the unique chance to step on a collegiate playing field and represent an institution, your mentors, and your family. Do not take your time here as a luxury it is an opportunity to better yourself as an athlete, intellectual, and person. For some this decision may change your entire life, so please take advantage of the loving community and resources you are being given.

What has it meant to you being a Bison?

Many things to be a brother, teammate, mentor, mentee, and an individual all in one.

Who has supported you during your time as a student-athlete?

The Athletic Department, Faculty, Greek Life, Staff, Student Life, SAAC, SAC, & SGA.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic caused the 2020 spring sports to be cancelled. Bethany College wants to thank all of our seniors for representing the Bison in a positive manner and for all their hard work and dedication over their careers at Bethany.
