How do you feel about the New Orleans Specters branding?: Definitely cool, the purple and black scheme reminds me of the WHL's Hitmen. Being called a Specter is pretty awesome too.

How important is the locker room atmosphere to you?: Semi? I like to idle and hang out and chip in to discussions. I'm not a wallflower but i'm not a huge social butterfly. 

Are you willing to help build that atmosphere to be a place everyone wants to be?: Of course, were all here to have fun and win games. I look forward to doing my part to help out in this case.

Are you okay with coming to an expansion team, understanding that there may be bumps in the road on the way to winning?: Every championship team goes through highs and lows. I want to be here for the bad times and the good times. When we win, I want to be able to say we didn't have it handed to us, we fought like hell to get there.

Do you need to win right away?: I'd rather earn it, so no, I don't need to win right away.

Team success or personal stats?: Team success, its all about the team.

What's your current favorite song?: Back Down - Bob Moses

How long do you want to play in the SMJHL?: When I first joined I was married to 3 seasons, as I'm finishing up, I'd still like to play the other two but I am not married to it, if the team needs me sooner I will do what is best for the team.

Would you be interested in potentially joining the Specters "inner circle" on personnel decisions, including giving thoughts on trades, and scouting for future drafts?: Of course, whatever I can do to help.

Who's better? Joe K or TDZ?: I don't know either one of you, so ill say both

Give me a bit more as to why i should draft you.

If you draft me, you're going to get someone who is committed to New Orleans for life. Someone who is going to work hard and try to help every member on the team give their very best. You're going to get someone who is active, who puts out media and who builds TPE. Everyone in the SHL wants to be a superstar, me included, but I'm not a primadonna, I keep my head down, I do my job and I do it to the best of my ability.
