The culture at JMU is awesome. Everyone here is really friendly and loves to have a good time.
What is your major, and why did you choose it?
I'm a kinesiology/sport management major and I'm also pre-law. I'd like to go to law school and work in professional sports.

I'm really into playing guitar, golf, and the occasional Xbox session. I'm also a brother of Sigma Phi Epsilon.
Do you have a nickname on the team? How did it come about?
Some guys call me John Mayer, even though I'm better at guitar than he is... not to mention better looking.
What are your goals for the season and what motivates you to reach them?
I want to see us win the CAA championship and play in an NCAA regional.
Do you have any unique talents or skills?
