What brought you to StFX?
I met great guys on my recruit trip. I could see myself living with them for 4 years.

What has been your best moment in a StFX uniform so far?
The 2009 AUS semi final game against Acadia, it was great to be a part of such an exciting game with an unbelievable comeback, led by Steve Snyder.

What are you most looking forward to this season?
A new feel to the team, we have a lot of good, young guys who are ready to play. We will have some new leadership, which I think will bring our team closer together as a whole and lead us to more wins.

Who has been the most influential person in your life (and why)?
My older sister Ali, she passed away 8 years ago after a 5 year battle with cancer. She was my best friend growing up and made me who I am today. I look to her for an example of strength whenever I have to push through something difficult, and it helps me strive to be the best I can be.

One thing I cannot live without is…?
Chocolate

My dream vacation destination is…?
To drive a herd of cattle for a week somewhere in the south west USA.

Tell us one thing that fans may not know about you?
