Favorite classes/teachers?
My favorite class would have to be, now don't make fun of me but Dance class when I had Emma Junk as a partner.
Favorite memories from GHS?
A few of my favorite memories would have to be from just traveling all over and connecting as a team for basketball during the summer. Another memory would be when we used to run Grinnell System and we would shoot 3's and the fans would spell out Cheeseburgers and they would end up getting a Mcd's cheeseburger if we got all those letters.
What did you do after graduation?
Right after High school, I went to a private Christian School in Hannibal Mo. and did track there for one year. Ended up homesick, came back and transferred to Black Hawk East (BHE) to play basketball there for two years. After those two years, I transferred to Western Il University.
What are you doing for a career?
I am currently at Mary Davis Home here in Galesburg after moving back from Peoria. While in Peoria I worked at Peoria County Juvenile Detention for 6 1/2 years.
What are you up to these days?
I am still working since I'm only 31 years old. yay, I have two beautiful children Thaddeus (4) and Emmalynn(21m) . She is named after one of the best fans Galesburg ever did have, my grandma Emma. :)
Advice to GHS athletes?
The best advice I would give is- Don't take things for granted. Live in the moment, these days are the best ones to talk about. Especially if you are an athlete.
