What went into your decision to attend W&J? At a small school like W&J, you do not become a number. I would argue you meet and know more people at a small school than you would at a large Division I campus. This allowed me to establish more connections for my post-college career.

What advice would you give current W&J student-athletes? Your time at W&J will fly by. Take the time to enjoy each moment and give your all.
