In his own words:

"The Athletic Training Program truly helped me develop into the professional that I am today. The vision of the ATP staff coupled with that of the clinical experience allowed me the opportunity to build relationships within the area for future job opportunities as well as helped me excel as an Athletic Trainer and I believe I was way better prepared as a professional compared to that of ATP programs. I can say without a doubt I am proud to have gone to the ATP program at UTA and I cannot thank the staff enough for all they have done for me and the Athletic Training profession as a whole. My goal for my career was to work in the clinical setting, specifically in that of sports performance and rehabilitation. The staff at UTA encouraged me toward that goal instead of pushing me in a different direction. They supported me throughout my time in the program and continue to do so even after I have graduated. You cannot ask for a better staff of caring professors that want to see you excel and make an impact on the profession."
