How does it feel to have graduated Davis?: To be honest, it’s kind of weird. Since I’m still in Davis and I see everybody around, I’m still adjusting to the non-student life style. On the other hand, it’s great to get home from work and not have homework hanging over my head. I’m excited about the next chapter of my life.
What are your plans now that you are officially an Alum?: Well, I have some irons in the fire. I am applying for some post graduate fellowship programs right now. I still work for EAOP (Early Academic Outreach Program) and just got a job working with an after school program at a Junior High in Sacramento. I am also training for my proday in March.
What will you miss most about playing football as an Aggie?: That’s easy, my teammates. I already miss seeing them everyday, and working, sweating, and practicing with them. But the great thing about football is that I will stay connected with these guys; it truly is a brotherhood. I walked on back in December 2007, made the team, and eventually earned a scholarship. Even though the road has never been easy, I don’t regret it at all.
What is your most memorable moment on the field?: There are two. I will never forget my first college catch. It was a 10 yard out route; I caught it and made a move up field but I stepped out of bounds after gaining an extra 6 yards. The other memory was beating Sac State in the lightning and rain last year by one point and then dominating them this year. Finishing out my UC Davis career with a win in the Causeway Classic at Sac State is something I will always be proud of and never forget.
Most embarrassing moment?: In eighth grade, one of my friends tricked me into pulling the fire alarm at school. He said it was broken and dared me. Pretty embarrassing when the alarm went off and the fire department showed up.
Who do you look up to and why?: I look up to my dad because he has always steered me straight and modeled for me how a man of God should act and live.
What is something most people don’t know about you?: Most people see athlete and think dumb jock. Not me. I am passionate about music. I play the piano, guitar, percussion, and saxophone. I also sing. Later down the road I plan on dedicating more of my time to developing my musical abilities on a professional level.
