1. 1.Coach Hicks, head strength and conditioning coach at Syracuse University, who has completely changed me athletically and continues to selflessly give to me his time, knowledge and support. We all have coaches who do more for us than expand our skillsets. This man has changed my entire life.


  1. 2.I stole most of the pictures used throughout this site from an old teammate and friend, Cori Alexander. Thank you, Cori, for providing much-needed color to my plain old text. www.corialexander.com
