Hillcrest High School

1. Where are you from?I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.
2. Where did you go to school and what is your educational background? I graduated from Ohio University in 2002 with a Bachelor’s of Science in Athletic Training and a Minor in Business Administration.
3. What were you doing before you began working as a Steadman Hawkins Athletic Trainer? I served as an intern with the Toronto Blue Jays minor league organization in 2003. From 2004 – 2005 I was an assistant athletic trainer at Pfeiffer University. I have been the head athletic trainer at Hillcrest High School since 2005.
4. Why did you become a Steadman Hawkins Athletic Trainer? I came to Greenville to get away from the nasty winters in Cleveland, but I enjoy being a Steadman Hawkins Athletic Trainer because each day presents itself with a new set of challenges.
5. What is your favorite sport and why? I do not have a favorite sport to cover, but I do like the fact that I have the opportunity to cover multiple sports during the school year. When one season is concluding I am always looking forward to a new set of sports. Outside of work my favorite sports are golf and curling because I when I am playing I am not thinking about anything other that the game that I am involved in.
6. Finish the sentence… When I am not working I really enjoy…. When I am not working I really enjoy golfing, curling, and spending time with friends and family.
7. What is something most people do not know about you? I attended the 2003 PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Rochester, NY and the 2005 U.S. Open at Pinehurst #2 in Pinehurst, NC. I am still hoping that some day someone will be able to provide me with tickets to the Masters.
