What did you study as an undergraduate? And what drew you to Regis in particular?
I double majored English and Philosophy. At the time, rugby was an emerging sport for the U.S. and not every university had a club. Regis had one of the top clubs in Colorado, even in the early days, and I was interested in both being able to play rugby at a high level and have an educational setting where I could excel.

How long have you played rugby? And how did you hear about the Regis Rugby Club?
I played rugby for 17 years beginning in high school, captaining Regis, playing Super League throughout the U.S. and even offered tryouts in Ireland. I learned about Regis’ rugby team from a local recruiter that came to Dallas who mentioned they were one of the top teams in Colorado the year before.

Where do you work now? Could you tell us a little about your day-to-day?
I own a jury consulting firm in Dallas. Jury consultants regularly conduct mock trials to test case themes, train witnesses to testify in depositions and at trial, and pick juries in the courtroom with the attorneys.

In what other ways has rugby helped shape your personal, professional and academic pursuits?
Regis rugby has been the most formative experience I have ever had with any sport. The guys who played with me back then have attended each other’s weddings, introduced our children to one another and are still close friends today. As a sport, rugby teaches you grit, leadership, teamwork and the tenacity to rise up and be alongside your teammates.

Do you have any advice for aspiring Regis students and rugby players?
Be patient and don’t rush your growth athletically, academically and professionally. Regis is a place where you can grow athletically and play for professional teams outside of Regis.
