Q:
A Hokie is one …
A:
who is dedicated to Virginia Tech and the goals in which it
pursues.
Q:
The Hokie Nation is real because …
A:
it is the spirit apparent whenever any Hokie is present. That
was evident last fall when we visited Notre Dame. Even at an
event so far away from home, the presence of Hokie Nation
was in full effect. That spirit filled the stadium with excitement
and with an identity that no one could deny!
Q:
What is your fondest memory of Virginia Tech Athletics
?
A:
The most special season was 1999 when the Hokies went
undefeated. However, for me, the most special event was
the Nebraska game in 2009. There were two miracles that
day— the Hokie comeback and the birth of our first child.
I reversed my direction on the way to Blacksburg to join
my wife at the hospital to time contractions and to watch
the game!
Q:
How did I get involved in the Hokie Club?
A:
I started donating when I purchased my first season tickets
several years ago. I became a Hokie Club rep in 2006. Then
in 2015, I became a Hokie Club president of the Winchester
area. I have been a Virginia Tech fan all of my life. My father
was a Tech graduate and worked for the extension division.
I began attending sporting events at a very early age. As
I grew, I watched him get involved in fundraising through
various programs. I have found that same passion in Hokie
athletics.

Q:
Do you have any gameday superstitions? If so, what are they?
A:
On home gamedays, I begin my three-hour drive to
Blacksburg by listening to “Enter Sandman.” As soon as I
reach 460, I begin listening to the lyrics once again. I always
arrive early, so that I can get into the full Hokie spirit to
support our teams. A perfect day at Virginia Tech starts with
beautiful weather and with my family present. A Virginia
Tech victory completes the package. Every devoted fan has
tailgating traditions! For me, that includes early arrival, family
and friends, and great food!
Q:
What motivates you to give back to Virginia Tech Athletics?
A:
I am motivated to give back to Virginia Tech Athletics
because I am proud of the goals and success of this university.
To remain the best, Virginia Tech needs the support of the
entire Hokie Nation. I enjoy being a part of the efforts to
see that students receive the scholarships they deserve. The
combination of a superior education and the athletics spirit is
an important part of why “We Are Virginia Tech!”
Q:
I am a Hokie Club Member because …
A:
The Hokie Club works to see that the athletics programs
receive the support needed to provide, in turn, the support of
athletes and their educational pursuits.
Q:
My favorite VT sports are …
A:
football and basketball.
Q:
Who are your favorite Virginia Tech players?
A:
I have many favorite football players. If I have to select just
one, it would be Michael Vick. My favorite student-athlete from
another sport is Malcolm Delaney (men’s basketball).
