"His passion and love for the game come out in everyone conversation and interaction."
"I am ecstatic to be joining the Colorado State program!

"I want to thank Coach Kohan for the opportunity to be a part of her staff, and I also want to thank Sonja, Bri, and the entire team for welcoming me into the Ramily. I'm excited to get to work with them and everyone in the Colorado State Athletic Department as we continue to strive for greatness and new heights.
