Q. How long have you worked at W&L?
I am in my fourth year at W&L.
Q. What is the favorite aspect of your job at W&L?
I love feeling like a part of this campus and I love seeing and interacting with students and student-athletes outside of the varsity weight room/fitness center setting. Also Steve Cross, the manager of WLUR, lets me get on the radio from time to time.
Q. If you chose a different path, what other career would you have?
Graphic design
Q. Where did you grow up?
I grew up in New York City.

When I was younger it was math. In college, it was physiology.
Q. Who is the most famous person you have met and where did you meet them?
I am fortunate in my career to have worked with and met a number of famous athletes and people, but my idol growing up was Don Mattingly of the New York Yankees. I had the opportunity to meet him in 2004.
Q. What do you like to do away from work?
Surf

Taking out the garbage.
