1. How is this season going for you compared to last year?
So far this year I have been much more consistent as opposed to last year. I've had more quality victories and have done a better job of establishing myself as a contender.
2. What are your goals for this season?
My goal is always to make nationals, and with the guys we have this year I'm really hoping to have a teammate going with me.
3. What is your favorite team memory?
My favorite team memory would have to be our trip to Florida my freshman year. We wrestled well as a team and during our off-days we had a blast mini-golfing, spilling jellybeans at Walgreens, and taking down Kenny Hamm at Bush Gardens.
4. Would you rather be able to foretell the future or have all the money you will ever need and why?
I'd rather have the money simply because I like having things surprise me. I would be bored if I knew everything before it happened. There is no surprise or anticipation there.
5. Would you rather be able to stop time while you slept or never need to do laundry and why?
Never need to do laundry. I like to use sleeping as a way to pass the time and every time I do laundry I lose socks. It's terrible.
6. What is your favorite thing about Lawrence?
I'd have to say security. They are all pretty cool and once you become friends with them they pretty much let you get away with anything. Trust me it works.
7. Any thoughts on the season so far?
Our season so far has been very up and down but there is a ton of promise in some of our younger guys as well as some older guys who came back to the team this year. Our leaders are also stepping up at crucial times.
