As a senior in 1995, he was chosen as Claremont McKenna College's Male Athlete of the Year. In 1994, he finished third in the country in total yards from scrimmage (2,871). After graduation, he also served as a coach with the CMS football program for several years. For the Stags on the diamond, he started for two seasons in center field.
