Auggie FAQ:
Career Goal? Finish my BS and/or masters in Computer Science and find a career in computer programming.
Why Augsburg? I was exposed to Augsburg from a young age, with summer camps in elementary school and being able to play in their Music Hall every year for my high school Concert Band. I've always liked its atmosphere and its student/faculty base. It wasn't a hard decision.
Athletic goal at Augsburg? To continue growing as an athlete for as long as I can. I've had to work to make every collegiate roster I have, and will now be affiliated with. Motivation to be better and prove myself drives my athletic pursuits.
Biggest thrill in athletics? As stated before, I love visual and perceived progress within athletic ability. If I've worked to improve at something and after some amount of time, it starts to materialize, that is the greatest feeling of satisfaction I know.
Little known fact? I'm pretty into computers. Could probably say I am a computer enthusiast.
Non-athletic hobbies? I absolutely love to draw and played percussion for eight years.
Most thankful for? My dad has been an extremely big part of my life. My mom passed away when I was four, so it really has just been us. He has helped both my academic and athletic goals, while pushing me to be better. My friends who have supported me and my coaches who have guided and refined/molded me into the person/player I am today. Not only playing ability-wise but also on a personal level.
