Why Rugby?
I chose rugby as a way of staying in shape in college, in addition to being able to compete at the highest level.

What have you liked about Michigan Rugby so far?
Michigan rugby has given me most of my close friends in college, in addition to a real sense of ownership as part of the club in becoming an officer.

Most memorable moment on the pitch?
My first try: Last fall, against John Carroll, Louis didn’t know he was in the try zone and offloaded the ball to me. Still counts.

My favorite drill is dynamic lines, and my least favorite is fitness.

What other sports have you played?
I’ve played football, golf, basketball, and baseball.

What do you see yourself doing in 5 years?
Hopefully somewhere overseas working within either the local or U.S. Government.

What’s an embarrassing childhood memory you can share with us?
I had to dress myself the night before school until the 4th grade because I had so much trouble figuring out what to wear in the morning.

Mitchell Field

Biggest fear?
Snakes

Chicken casserole

Any game-day superstitions?
I listen to the same playlist, in the same order, starting at the same time before every game.

Batman, because he’s just a nerd who wants to save the day.

Best Advice?
