NAIA Convention Student-Athlete Panelist

I’ve voiced this numerous times before, about how lucky and extremely fortunate I feel to have had so many incredible opportunities during my time at Baker. Through giving back and getting involved with the school, doors continue to open and paths are being paved. At the 2011 NAIA National Convention that took place at the Hyatt Crown Center in Kansas City, MO, I was asked to be a member of the Q&A panel that consisted of former and current NAIA student-athletes for the 2011 National NAIA Convention.

From left to right, I am standing with Kevin Barth, President and CEO of Commerce Bank – Kansas City, Marc Boerigter, former NFL player for the Kansas City Chiefs, Green Bay Packers, and Indianapolis Colts, Jim Carr, President and CEO of the NAIA Organization, Dylan Smith, NAIA Champions of Character Award Winner, and Michael Coleman, Sports Director of KCTV5. You can watch a highlight of the convention kick-off below. Was I nervous? Yes. Did I know what I was talking about? Sorta. Did I realize I was swinging my chair that badly? HECK no… haha!
