An extremely consistent competitor, he was able to maintain high national averages. This was remarkable considering the fact Gettysburg was still playing a Division I schedule.

During his junior year, he averaged 20 points a game and hit 50 percent of his field goals and 77 percent of his fouls. His average got a boost from a 30 point performance against American U., 21 against Penn State and 34 against Lafayette which featured Tracy Tripucka.

He became a member of Gettysburg's elite, 1,000-point club when he scored 15 points in a 61-60 win over Rutgers his senior year.

He completed his collegiate career with 1,118 points, an even 50 percent shooting percentage and a 74 percent foul shooting performance.

He graduated with a degree in Business Administration and was awarded the prestigious Beacham Award.
