Why UWF? "I chose to come to the UWF because after fighting for a national championship title when I was in junior college, I was hungry to find a place that has that drive to win and puts action behind goals so I could have the chance to fight for it once more. Most importantly, I wanted to be surrounded by great people who build me up and make me better as well as have a winning mentality. After getting to know the program, there was no doubt in my mind that this environment was what I wanted and needed. God has been in this with me from the beginning and I'm so blessed he brought me home. Go Argos!!!!"
