How did you get involved in rugby?
"I needed a way to keep in shape during my college soccer offseason, and rugby seemed more fun than running on my own. Once I started, I never looked back!"

Favorite rugby memory:
"Winning Nationals, especially the nail-biters in 2000 and 2005."

Rugby mentors/inspirations:
