Advice to current high school athletes:
"Ask your coaches for real, honest evaluation of your physical talents, and listen to them. Whether it’s NAIA, D3, or the SEC. Ask your coaches for honesty, believe them, don’t take it personal."
Would you have done anything different from high school until now:
"Nothing different. I love my journey. I’ve learned so much for so many different people. I coached at both my high school and college alma mater. I was able to learn under Matt Johnson, Pat Nugent, Pat Ryden, Jim Monaco, John O’Mera, Dennis Bene, Nemer Hassey, Jeff Scurran, Scott McKee.
I owe a lot to Matt Johnson for introducing me to football and playing a big part in my development as a man. I’ve served countries all around the world because of Up with People. And now I’m working on staff for Mizzou football in college football’s best conference. I’d do it all over again 100 times."
