1.       Where are you originally from? I'm a local guy. I was born and raised in Littleton, Colorado -- no more than 15 minutes south of the DU campus.
 
2.       Why did you choose to attend DU? I originally wanted to go join a frat at Vanderbilt with my best friend from high school and when I got waitlisted there, Chad Ashton (DU's coach at the time) came to my parent's house and expressed how much he wanted me to be a part of the team. It was then that I reassessed what my soccer career could look like moving forward and made the decision to join the program. It was undoubtedly the best decision I ever made.
 
3.       Where are you now/what are you doing?: After four years in New York working in sports marketing at ESPN, I moved out to the Bay Area where I've held jobs at Pac-12 Networks, GoPro and TuneIn. I've been in San Francisco for the past six years where I currently live with my girlfriend and work in brand marketing at PlayStation -- so I'm sure I can teach the boys a thing or two about FIFA '19.
 
4.       Last time you touched a soccer ball/where?: I play in a few leagues out at the Bay Area including out at the Olympic Club. I guess the exact last time I touched a ball was right before the holidays.


 
5.       Highlight/favorite soccer memory from your time at DU: My favorite memory was from my senior year when we went away to Seattle to play Washington at their place. It was early in the season and they were a top 10 team at the time. It was pouring rain and we hammered them 4-1. I'll never forget getting a huge team win on the road and doing double knee slides four times in front of their fans. It was the best!
 
6.       When is the last time you were back on campus? Do you get back often? I haven't actually been back on campus in more than a year although I drive through it all the time. I see my family in Denver often, but I plan on making it back to DU for a game or alumni weekend next year.
 
7.       Favorite non-soccer memory from your time at DU: There are so many that come to mind, but the best ones come from living at our house on Asbury and Williams Street with the green door out front with Matt Bredehoft (our goalkeeper at the time) and two of our other buddies. We were next to the lax house and across from six of our other teammates. It was a small, simple place that brought together friends, created relationships, caused a little bit of trouble, but ultimately that house was the site for a lot of my favorite college experiences. I wish I could go back sometimes.
 
8.       Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I never like this question, but wherever I am, hopefully I'll be thriving in my career and married to the woman I love with kids that I can kick a ball around with.
 
9.       What is your greatest accomplishment? So far I'd say landing my first job right out of college at ESPN in New York. I interned in sports marketing the summer between my junior and senior year at DU and beat out other interns and qualified candidates for the position. I feel like it gave me a platform to kick off my career and gave me life experiences in New York City that I couldn't have imagined.
 
10.   What advice do you have for the current Pioneers about life after college?: I'd say just to be yourself, always do your best and lean on your competitive nature to navigate through life after DU. I'm a believer that athletes are better prepared to push themselves harder, adapt to different personality styles and understand team culture in the workplace so I welcome resumes from former student-athletes. I'd also encourage you to stay patient and utilize your network of DU alumni whether you know them personally or not. Have confidence in yourself and ask for help when you need it. Those simple things should get you on the right track and set you up for success.
