I have faced a lot of great opponents while at Utah.  To be completely honest, the hardest person to defend would have had to be my own teammates, Bradon Godfrey.  I had to go up against him on a daily basis at the U.  Even though we are great friends we never took it easy on each other.  He was one of the hardest working guys on the team and he never let up.  I would have to bring my A game every time I went against him.

I am a personal trainer for a company called Riviera Fitness in Birmingham, Alabama (Ironic, I know).  I have family that lives here and we moved for the good job opportunity.  I also get to talk a lot of trash!  My wife and I are expecting our first baby in April and we just bought our first house!  Go Utes!

I grew up in New Orleans, LA and even spent 2 years as a baby in Hawaii.  I'm also a virgo. I like long walks on the beach and singing Christmas carols.
