- How did you get started playing Rugby? I got started playing rugby through Jason Niemiller constantly harassing me about it for a couple years. Luckily I did it because I love it!
- Favorite thing about Rugby? My favorite part about playing rugby is the brotherhood with your team and even with other teams….and the hitting.
- Favorite moment of 2015? My favorite moment from 2014 was every Saturday that we met up with a team and smashed heads together whether it was 7’s or 15’s, I can’t just choose one. Anytime Saturday is a rugby day it’s another great moment for me. Just can’t wait to see what 2015 holds for Clayton RFC.
