I think I've worked for what I've got. My goal was to be able to start and play more minutes. And I am.

I'm not strictly vegetarian, but meat doesn't play a big part in my diet,

I was kind of upset (about not being able to play much). I tried so hard to play on it, but I couldn't. That was disappointing to me.

Coach Helfer was recruiting another player on the team and he saw me play and he liked me. I wasn't sure at first, but I saw the banners (hanging in the gym) and the players looked pretty good, so I thought it would be nice to be here.

Align is more of a speculative play, it's a young business and they are nowhere near profitability. But they have a unique product in a large marketplace.

This feels real rewarding. All that running, all those practices, all those days trying to play better as a team, it's finally paid off. And man, it feels good. We went out with a bang.
