What do you want to do after graduation and why? I would like to be a Cryptologic warfare officer. Crypto is an option that has caught my attention and after speaking with crypto officers it seems like an option I would enjoy.
Why did you choose Navy? I chose Navy because I wanted to make a 40-year decision and not a four-year decision. My parents would always talk about the "40 year rule" which is a reflection of what your future self would think about the decision you make. So for my life goals and future aspirations the Naval Academy was the best choice.

If you could play another position, what position would you play and why? If I could play another position I would play quarterback because growing up that's the position I played up until high school.
If you could choose any opponent for Navy to play that is currently not on the schedule, who would you choose and why? The University of Texas because I have a lot of friends that go there and it would be fun to play in front of them again.
