Personal notes:

After not being invited to the NFL scouting combine in 2007 and then being drafted in the 5th round, I use those snubs as motivation. It ticked me off, to be honest. I thought I would be drafted higher, but it just lit a fire under me that I will always carry.

I work with my cousin, Josh Randell, to broker deals between companies importing and exporting a variety of products from China, including bamboo flooring, plastics, molds, and chemicals. Every time we get a big deal done, it's a big rush. Not as big as a football game, but it's up there. It's a very competitive venture.

I researches companies as a hobby in hopes of one day investing in them. In college, I would often get bored in class and sometimes just log onto the internet during class to research companies and learn as much as I could. I read the Wall Street Journal every day with an online subscription, as well many other web sites. I try to focus on companies I know and use in everyday life.

College awards and records:

I finished my career ranked 3rd on Cincinnati's all-time list among Tight Ends in catches (91) and touchdowns (14), while amassing 1,135 yards. I led all Big East TE's in receptions and yards. (35-481), while adding 3 TDs as a senior. Then I finished my career with a streak of 25 straight games with a catch. Posted 32-361-3TD rec. stats as a junior and garnered 2nd-team All-Conference USA honors as a sophomore with a school-record 8 TDs as a TE.
