1. How did you get started in wrestling?
1. My dad was a college wrestler and then a coach and he got me started when I was 4 years old. I went 0-2 that year.
2. What is your most memorable match in your life? Describe it.
2. My most memorable match would have to be winning my first state title sophomore year at 103 lbs. I won the match 9-1. It was only 1-0 me going into the 3rd and then I got a five count for 3pts. He called an injury time with 1 min left and I still remember my coach (John Heffernan) telling me "This is just like in the room, win this one minute go and you will be a state champ." My opponent then got out but in desperation he made a mistake which I capitalized and managed to put him on his back for five points, and I held him there for the remainder of the match.
3. Was it hard to pick Virginia for next year? What other colleges were after you?
3. Yes, my choice was very hard. the other major schools I was looking at were Cornell and Penn. I made the choice based on where I thought I would not only be successful but also happy to spend the next five years of my life there.
5. Who are some Eagle wrestlers fans should keep an eye out for in the NCAA?
5. I think the guys people should be paying attention to are Danny Gonsor and Shawn Harris. From what im hearing they are putting in the work and should be working their way up there.
6. What is the most embarrassing song on your iPOD?
6. That would probably have to be All Around the World by ATC, not the most manly song out there but never fails to put a smile on my face.
7. Who is your favorite MMA fighter and why?
7. My favorite fighter is Randy Couture because not only was he a wrestler and now a UFC Hall of Famer, but he is definitely getting old and still able to hang with the best. To be in that kind of physical shape in the upper 40's is impressive, I'm just hoping when I'm that old my gut isn't too big.
8. Do you have any plans on getting in the cage when your older like former Eagle Gray Maynard?
8. The thought has definitely crossed my mind. I love to compete and I dont know if I will be able to hang that up right after college wrestling. However I have very little intention of making a living out of it.
9. What is your favorite movie?
9. My favorite movie is Gladiator. Russell Crowe is definitely a bad ass in it and the Gladiator scenes are insane.
10. Do you think MMA is the sport of the future or do you think it will fade away over the years?
10. I see MMA continuing to grow like crazy. There is just something about watching a guy beat another guy into a bloody pulp that entertains the hell out of us.
