He was a member of the state champion basketball team in 2000.[2] He graduated from Emerson College in 2004 with a degree in broadcast journalism. At Emerson, he was a Division III All-American, Academic All-American, and the Great Northeast Athletic Conference Player of the Year for three seasons.
