Favorite Movie: Saving Private Ryan
Fondest memory as a member of the Raiders: Watching Kevin sprint the length of the 50-meter pool to save a dog that wandered into the deep end.
What I would like to leave behind to the Raiders: Take advantage of everything you have set before you. Don’t take anything for granted; if you do, then by the time you realize what you have it will be time to leave it all behind.
