What inspired you to join CABMA?
I wanted to be able to join a community with like-minded individuals who have a desire to be on the business side of sports, while supporting Student-Athletes "behind the scenes".
What do you hope to gain from your membership?
I hope to gain the benefits of resource and process sharing, personal and professional development, and staying up to date on the business trends and innovations in college athletics. In my short time being a CABMA member so far, I can already see how interactive and helpful members are to one another.
What is your favorite sports memory?
I missed the majority of my first 3 years of college football due to injuries. One of my favorite memories was making a 3rd down stop my first play being back on the field after all those years.
What's the most important thing the CABMA membership should know about you?
I hang my hat on bringing the same work ethic, resiliency, and determination from being an athlete into my professional career. I believe that is a common theme in this industry based upon my experiences this far.
