As I get ready to head into the final games of my Oregon State career, I think about how I have come so far to get here, and to think back, it's going to be a lot to take in.

I've had so many good times over my years here - the people that I've met here are amazing, and they have become family to me. The connections I have with my teammates, the ones who have gone and the ones that are still here they are my brothers. We are family forever. That's something I will have for the rest of my life.

I hope I've left a mark on the program. This place is about a certain mentality that goes beyond basketball it's about helping people that need help. I hope my teammates see me as somebody they can connect to I hope they see the way I treat people and recognize that what we do makes a difference.

Being part of Beaver Nation is something I wouldn't trade for anything else. Being in this area, and being a student-athlete at Oregon State is very important to me. I really take that as a blessing in my life.

Lastly, I really want to thank Beaver Nation for always coming to support us. We really appreciate everything you do for us, and we take it to heart. It means so much that you are always here. Go Beavs!
