What factors play a role in your college decision:

The biggest factor for me is how well the college's education program is. I want to get the best possible education to set me apart from other in the real world.
Another big factor is how close or far away the campus is from my home, but i would be willing to drive 10+ hours in order to get a good education. My third biggest factor in making my college decision is how the campus life is. I want to be in a place where I am not only comfortable, but a place where i feel like a belong.

Favorite Activities and/or Interest:

Football is a huge part of my life and eats up a large amount of my time. When I'm not involved with football, I like to weight lift, partake in woodworking, and work on my car.

About Me:

I have been born in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and have lived in that region my entire life. I have spent my last 10 years in great town of Barrington, Illinois. Growing up, I have stuck very tightly to the values my parents have instilled in me. The biggest three are that education always comes first, always try your hardest, and always finish what you started. Over the last 2.5 years of high school I have been able to pull off a 3.7 weighted GPA (3.567 unweighted) through my first semester of junior year. I have also gotten a 26 on the ACT in December 2011. I take great pride in my academics and hold myself to very high standards, as I do with football. My fellow players aren't just friends, I consider them as a part of my family. My senior year will be my 3rd year starting on varsity and I have made and still have strong bonds with all my brothers, but one group i am closest to is the D-line. Having been worked with many of the same kids for 5+ years, the majority of us known each other inside and out.
My best lifts are Bench-300x1, Squat-410x1, and Clean-230x5
