He was always all about helping out those who wanted to work for it and he really gave me every ounce of his effort to make me as good as I could possible be. He was always there to make track fun for me, as well as, making it a worthwhile endeavor. I probably would not be in the position I am in now if it was not for 'G'." ... Favorite athlete is "Lance Armstrong, not only because he is a six-time champion of the Tour de France, the world's most grueling athletic event, but because of his amazing life story which lends inspiration to all who listen and believe."...Biggest thrill in sports is "The feeling of setting a personal record in any event while competing in a decathlon. It is like a rush coming over my body where I get goosebumps all over and feel as if I can continue to improve in each and every event, and there is nothing that can hold me back."...Favorite quote:"Don't talk about it, do it."-Coach "G"
