Why he chose Emory?

"Emory University gave me the opportunity to receive a second to none level education while being able to experience the intensity of a collegiate sport.  The location of Emory being in Atlanta also played a huge role.  I noticed the opportunities that a growing city like Atlanta could provide me, and the proximity paired with such a renowned school struck me as an easy decision to make.  Playing soccer at the collegiate level has always been a dream of mine, and the opportunity given to me to play for Emory made the decision even easier.  After taking a tour and an official visit, I knew Emory could be the place where I could have fun and call home for the next four years"
