Why you chose to attend Illinois Wesleyan: I fooled Coach Rose into thinking I was good at basketball my senior year of high school. Four years later it’s still happening
 
IWU class you’re most qualified to teach: Any Fredrick Hoyt class ... although there is a difference in height, we are virtually the same person.
 
The hardest challenge about being a Division III student-athlete is: I get it, the education is the biggest benefit from D3, but some free merchandise would be welcomed from time to time.
 
Worst grade in a class you ever got – what and when? Failed biology my freshman year, an excellent start to my pre-business degree.
 
I’m deathly afraid of ... : Kevin Connelly on the weekends
 
Most expensive traffic ticket: On the last 45 minutes of a 10 hour trip I got a $275 ticket for speeding 13 over. Was not happy to say the least
 
Language I’d like to learn: German, sounds intimidating
 
The longest I could survive without my cell phone: That’s a much better question for Andy Stempel.  
 
One word your mother or father would use to describe you: Whoops

My greatest moment in sports was: Scoring three touchdowns against our bitter rivals, No. 1 team in state at the time, in the playoffs my senior year of high school.
 
The best players I ever faced were: Brad Beal/Jason Tatum
 
Worst dresser on my team: Trevor Seibring by far. STEADY doses of oversized t-shirts and sweatpants.
 
Thing that’s been in my fridge the longest: Rented my room out to Nick Coleman for the summer, he left after-sun skin aloe in the fridge. Think I might have to give that back. He is fair skinned to say the least

Place I’d most like to live: Not Chicago, what a cliché
 
If you come back in another life, what would you like to return as: A D3 soccer player…should have been a keeper.
 
Who is the luckiest person in the world? Max Scholle, who knows how awkward he would still be if he didn’t come here and meet us.
 
What I miss most about being in the third grade: Nothing was politically incorrect. Ahhh, the simple times.
