“I think you could characterize what I learned at Westminster in three ways.  Academically, with the guidance of the college faculty, I found myself working hard to keep up in the classroom.  Athletically, I learned the mental toughness required to compete, to overcome adversity, and the realization I had to improve every year to help my team.  Finally, I learned leadership skills and what it took to be a leader both on and off the field.   All three lessons carry through to my life today.”
