Why I came to the Academy: ?I want to fly, and what better place to do that than at the United States Air Force Academy. It?s the best education that money can buy in the United States; if not in the world. A degree from the Academy is second to none, not even Harvard. Besides academics, the Academy offers athletic facilities that no other institution could rival. In my opinion, the Academy is the best place for a student-athlete to grow academically and athletically. The Academy was my first choice and there is no place I would rather be.?

My plans for the future: ?In the future, I hope to fly fighters for the United States Air Force. If this all works out, I will serve my 20 years, make it a career, come out of the Air Force at about 42, and collect my monthly retirement pay from the Air Force while flying for Delta or some other commercial airliner.? Notable: Played at the USAFA Prep School last year.
