Why did you choose Arlington Baptist University?

“I chose ABU to stay close to home, to get a college degree, and for an opportunity to play college basketball.”

 

What impact did ABU have on your life?

“ABU has impacted my life in unbelievable ways. I am the founding athletic director and head boys basketball coach for R.W.G.S.T.E.M. Academy here in Arlington. I had the amazing opportunity while at Arlington to complete my student teaching at Kennedale High School under varsity coach Doug Groff. God has impacted my life in such a positive way, through my mentor teacher, Dr. Massingill, Coach McDaniel, Dr. Moody, and my best friend/teammate, Phillip Nwakamma.”

 

Where they are now…

“I just got married on June 22nd. I met my wife, Ashley, while I was a student at ABU. I am thankful I get to work with her at R.W.G. S.T.E.M. Academy where she is the cheerleading coach.”
