What was your welcome to college moment?
When I showed up to my dorm in Forbes before anyone was there, moving in all by myself in the Addition. I was all alone in what felt like a hotel from The Shining...it was a scary welcome to Princeton.
What has been your greatest highlight in sports?
Eastern championships in fall 2005 during my sophomore year, I scored a goal off a pinpoint pass from Chris Kelsch against St. Francis in double sudden death overtime to send the team to the Final Four. I didn't know I had scored a goal until my coach ran and jumped into the pool, running in midair as he fell. Then we took UCLA to overtime in the next game when they went on to win the tournament.
What is the funniest story you have about coach?
Our coach got too excited and fell into the pool, then he did it again ten minutes later in the same game. His body is shaped like a nugget so he sunk to the bottom of the pool.
Who is your quirkiest teammate? Why?
Brendan Colgan, nicknamed Mooseknuckle for being simultaneously utterly confused and totally focused in every game situation.
What is your most embarrassing moment?
I was playing in Santa Barbara and had my suit torn off during practice. I had to get out of the pool in front of everyone to get it fixed.

Having your teammates around you wherever you go.

I'd like to play basketball but I have no functioning knees.

Classical mythology.
