Q&A WITH UTEP RIFLE HEAD COACH:
Q. How Long have you been working at UTEP? A: I just finished my second season, so 2 years. Q. What is your philosophy towards your work? A: My philosophy is student before athlete. Making sure academics comes first. Prioritizing and making sure school work is taken care of, as well as getting their practice time in. Q. What do you work towards in your free time? A: My free time is actually spent here on the range. When we’re not in season, I am here cleaning and updating the range. I am also in charge of the target maintenance. Q. If you had another job, what would it be and why? A: A Meteorologist. When I was little, I was obsessed with the weather. I love the sun, I like looking at the clouds. I would read every book I could find on clouds and thunderstorms. My favorite movie was Twister. Q. What is your favorite place to shop? A: I love to shop at Marshalls. I am a big Marshalls fan. Q. If you were stranded on a deserted island, what 3 things would you have and why? A: A really sharp knife, sunglasses and a tarp. I would need those three for survival.
