Q: If you could go back and change anything during your college career, what would it be and why?

A: No, however my Dad, class of 1979 and my twin brother, class of 1995, are NIU Alumni.

A: I still closely follow the football team and am extremely proud of our success even when competing against larger colleges with much more funding for their athletic programs. I am a big fan.
