Why he chose Emory?

"Emory not only provided me with incredible combination of academics and athletics - it became clear from the moment I started communicating with the program that there was a special sense of family and support on the team. While the school certainly fit me on paper, what was even more important for me was finding a place where i felt like I could contribute not just through my times but also through my connections and relationships with my teammates and coaches, and Emory stood very clearly as the perfect choice."
