Get to Know "Coxy"

How did you get involved in rugby?
"Older brother Justin lured me in while chasing after rugby girls aka 'Jen Sinkler'."

Other interests:
"Hiking, camping, goofing around with family, friends and Magpie, enjoying the simple things in life with Gage and Quinn."

If I had a million dollars I would ...
"Pay off my student loans (phew); figure out what my family can survive without; hook Gage and Quinn up with a couple kidneys; begin development on a rugby pitch, club house, and housing for Eagles and aspiring Eagles to train and play international games on."

Favorite rugby memory:
"The 9 crazy "Iowa groupies" and their adventure to the UK in support of the US WNT 06'."

Rugby mentors/inspirations:
"Kathy Flores/Mom, Dad, JDC & JWC - Always, always, always supporting. Coaching influences: Steve Murra, Bryn Chivers, Barb Fugate, Richard Dryer, Candi Orsini and Kathy Flores."

Favorite Motto/Saying:
"The journey is the thing." - unknown
