Anybody famous share your birthday?  I do not know anyone that shares my birthday.

Best advice Coach Thomson ever gave to you?  Take advantage of every opportunity.

It is not a successful season if we don’t...  Learn from our mistakes, make corrections and plan future success.

What do they say behind your back?  Who knows?

Best part of road trips?  Getting away from my natural environment.

McDonald’s McFlurry or Wendy’s Frosty?  Wendy’s Frosty

Name one thing that no one knows about you.  Everyday is a hammer day, a practice day, a lift day, a video day, etc. 365 days a year.

I have been competing since...  High school and I have been throwing the hammer since my second year at DePaul.

If you can add one thing on campus, what would it be?  It has been said, but it needs to be said again: A hammer field.

Steak ‘n Steak or Fuddruckers?  Steak ‘n Shake

With a million dollars,  I’d invest , buy a new car and some gear.
