"My four years at Northern State University were truly a blessing. Having the opportunity to represent the football program, the athletics department, and the university meant everything to me—and it exceeded every expectation I had as a student-athlete.

The relationships I built in Aberdeen are some of the most meaningful and cherished bonds I will ever have. During my time at NSU, I was fortunate to earn my bachelor’s degree in Sociology and meet my wife, Cari, a former NSU volleyball student-athlete. That experience ultimately led to us building the family we are blessed with today.

I can’t thank my head coach Tom Dosch and the entire NSU staff enough for giving a young kid from Phoenix, Arizona the opportunity to live out his dream of becoming a collegiate student-athlete. The experiences I had at Northern helped shape the person I am today and inspired me to pursue a career as a collegiate coach, where I now have the privilege of passing along the knowledge and values I learned at NSU.

It has been incredible to watch Northern State continue to grow over the years, and with your support, this is only the beginning. Please consider supporting the Wolves this GiveNDay and help the Maroon and Gold continue to climb.

Go Wolves!"
