Scholarship support gave me an opportunity to pursue an education and graduate debt free. Without that support I wouldn't have been able to start my company. Without NIU, without my team, it's a no-brainer — I wouldn't have been successful.

As the son of former Huskie student-athletes, I saw what NIU meant to my family and how donor support makes an impact beyond the field of play. Every time I put on that jersey I feel like I'm competing not just for my coaches and teammates, but for everyone who came before me. The opportunity to come to NIU and get an education has been a dream come true.
