PERSONAL: No. 1 sports highlight was reaching the semifinals of the Dallas Cup with the Sockers… his former ODP coach George Perry, who is currently the head coach at Monmouth College in Illinois, has been a major influence on his sports career because “because there is a mutual respect between him and his players. I look up to him not only for the way he handles his team, but also because he cares about his players as individuals… most admires English forward Jermaine Defoe because “of his technical ability and his playing style”… son of Bill and Janice Ciucki… MAJOR: Undecided.
