“I'm so proud of the time I put in the pool, so proud of the people I met along way, just to be asked to do this was exciting for me.

It's rare that anyone remembers me but it's fun when I run into guys that played water polo who, we can speak in terms of water polo and what it was like and how we played, it's the great camaraderie. I was so excited to be asked to be part of this because I'm proud of it. I'm more proud of this probably than I am my professional career.”
