Which JCU faculty or staff member has made the greatest impact on you and why?
Professor Landoll. He impacted me by having students understand you get what you earn. Nothing is just giving. I remember receiving a 99 on my calc test and asked ” why couldn’t you give me the 100?”. He then said “You got a 99 because that what you earned.”
Reflecting back on your time at JCU, what advice would you give an incoming freshman?
It’s okay to receive extra help and attend to multiple classes. It will help you in the long run. Don’t wait until the last minute.

Hopefully playing football at next level. If not, working in HR.
