"I'm not sure I can put into words what being one of the inaugural inductees in the FGCU Athletics Hall of Fame means to me. Thank you to those who voted for me and making this a special time for me and my family! It is such an honor not just to be inducted into the first hall of fame class but to share it with some really incredible people! Thank you to all my teammates and coaches - you made my four years at FGCU some of the best and this wouldn't have happened without you! My time at FGCU led me to where I am today and to some amazing moments all around the world, but I'll never forget where my roots are. Go Eagles!"
