Currently attending the University of Michigan, I will be a senior this fall and will be graduating this upcoming spring with a degree in Art History.  I have been a hockey player my whole life, I grew up playing in the Detroit area for Compuware, Little Caesars, and Honeybaked.  After youth hockey I was drafted into the USHL where I played one season for the Ohio Junior Blue Jackets before seriously injuring my shoulder, which forced me to end my playing career.
