He was Daktronics Second-Team All-America offensive lineman as a senior in 1997 (with Bearcats reaching the quarterfinals in both 1996 and 1997).
After graduating from Northwest in 1998 he was a graduate assistant in 1998 at Northeastern State University in Oklahoma. He returned to Northwest as a graduate assistant in 1999 when Bearcats won their second national championship in 1999. He received his master's degree from Northwest in 2000.
