I am not worthy of an autobiography. The Invaluable Experience is not an autobiography, but a tribute to honor student athletes and all the people behind them that make the college experience what it is. 

​Words from the Author:

 

"Turning my blog posts into a book was a great way to organize my scattered thoughts I was slowly collecting since the end of my collegiate career."​
 

"College tennis was such a pivotal part in my development as a player as well as a person and my hope is to share it with as many people as I can, how college is such an invaluable experience. Whether it is reaching out to the upcoming generation entering college, reassuring current student athletes or making graduates smile about the sense of deja vu they feel from reading this book, I want to be able to be a voice that says college sports packs something incredibly special."



"By sifting through my brain for all the values I had learned, I became more and more amazed at what the college experience has done for me. The book is intended to commend and honor all (past, present, and future) student athletes and those who get behind them that make college sports as special as it is. It really is the invaluable experience, and I feel incredibly privileged to have been a part of it."

 

"College sports are something so unique. My biggest desire is that the world can grow to apprciate what it takes for student athletes to excel at what they do. More importantly, I hope that every student athlete grows to know how blessed and privileged they are to acquire such a title."
